We’re excited to participate in Park(ing) Day 2018 this Friday with an installation, “Kelp us Sea it Through,” adjacent to Seattle’s Pier 57 (just north of our Seattle office). Our ocean-themed parking spot highlights the significance of water to Seattle and the importance of keeping it clean. We're reusing Mithun’s Block Party installation to flank our parking spot and mount a mural – reminiscent of a ship’s skeleton hull strung with fishing net and kelp – all using recycled and found materials. Visitors will be invited to play a game using recycled materials to determine their paint by numbers color. Ultimately, we’re asking people to trust that what they’re contributing to a blank canvas will become something complete. JOIN US: Friday, Sept 21, 10am – 4pm, Pier 57
