To celebrate the summer season and
welcome a new penguin exhibit to The Woodland Park Zoo,
the City of Seattle has commissioned sixty-two plaster
penguins to be decorated by artists across the city and
displayed throughout. Sprinkled in Greenwood, Wallingford,
and Fremont the adorable little lads can be found inside
stores or occasionally tethered to their front entrances.
Similar to the Pigs On Parade of 2001
and 2007, and the Nutcrackers of 2007 this parade of individually
designed works is fun, festive, and for sale! Sixty-two
statues in all cover the gamut from a French waiter to
a space penguin, the Penguinator to a Jimi Hendrix penguin
masterpiece, and on and on. Check out all the pics we've
captured below. |
