On a walkabout downtown Seattle today I found this excellent totem pole made of motorcycle parts at the base of harborsteps.   http://www.westedgesculpture.com/travis_pond.html Looks like a great place to start or end a journey! Nice work! -k |

That must be fairly new. I used to travel the harbor steps twice a day for many years.
I'll have to try and make it back down there to see this. I no longer work down there.

Sure. Here are a couple more. I just didn't like the background. Or those pesky people.    I think that it was installed last month. -k |

Cool!, thanks for the full view pictures. On second viewing of the initial closeups you provided, it sure looks like he's scratching or yanking it.. |

The totem pole was removed from harbor steps when the exhibit ended. Not sure where it is now...
