- N 36th & Aurora N. It is actually the Aurora Bridge, not the Fremont bridge.
-
- Publicly observable art that I pass by every day:
-
- There is a statue at NE 40th and Roosevelt (just north of the University Bridge,
- at the northwest corner, next to bus stop) of a young girl holding an origami
- bird. What is neat is that people will add their own origami creations to
- the statue by suspending them from the statue's hand. Also there is the
- underpass mural nearby (Campus Parkway & Roosevelt), which is sadly punctuated
- by grafitti. A pigeon-turd-encrusted George Washington stands at the end
- of Campus Parkway. The west end of the 15th Ave NE crosswalk (Schmitz Hall
- side) has an unusual statue of someone with a pilgrim's hat, hopping on one
- foot. Then there's Sieg Hall, the home of UW Computer Science, an architectural
- homage to bowties. :-)
