Bus Shelter Mural Program Gallery
Shoreline Chamber of Commerce
Mural created by the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce
Located at 160th St. and Aurora Ave N in Shoreline
This mural was created by members of the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce with Shoreline artists Patt and Erin Comstock in December 1995.
Looking across Puget Sound toward the western horizon, a fiery sunset illuminates the majestic Olympic Mountains. The snow-covered peaks loom over the forested lowlands that define our Puget Sound region.
The sea-traffic depicts the diversity of vessels seen everyday on our waters: a tug boat pulling a cargo barge makes it's way towards the Straight of Juan De Fuca, a sailing yacht charts it's way towards Bremerton on a recreational voyage, a Washington State Ferry nears Edmonds from Kingston and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter patrols south toward Seattle.
On the lower panels, we see a cross-section of the sealife found below the surface of Puget Sound.
On the back of this bus passenger shelter, bright and colorful flowers of all sizes and shapes create a mystical, magical fantasy garden.
This mural project is one of many in the Shoreline community sponsored and funded by the Shoreline Arts Council. This project is supported by the King County Council and the King County Arts Commission.
Completed Winter 1995
