In 2007 fire gutted the historic Metropole building built by Seattle pioneer Henry Yesler. For years bare plywood surrounded the site. Artist Jeff Jacobson decided to do something to liven up the eyesore and involve the community. This enormous and colorful mural is the result. You can read about the project here. I like the salmon in the sea swimming deep (see detail below).

I've seen this many times... love the colors, don't you?
That's refreshing all the way around. I wish people around here would think of this. Heaven knows we have plenty of decrepit buildings.
