LAST MONTH’S CONTEST

A colorful mural set amongst trees

We had many correct answers to last month’s WHERE IN WASHINGTON contest, including the winner, Ellen of Seattle. The photo featured the Seattle Center Mural Amphitheater, site of many memorable concerts, films, and other events. The mural behind the stage was commissioned for the 1962 World’s Fair. It was created by Paul Horiuchi, a Seattle-based artist considered to be part of the famous “Northwest School” of artists. At the time, the mural, which measures 60 feet by 17 feet, was billed as the largest artwork in the Pacific Northwest.

Ellen of Seattle was the winner of last month’s WHERE IN WASHINGTON contest. She sent this photo, explaining that she is a “Mariner Season Ticket holder for 35 years, so many of my photos are Mariner themed!”
