Today I paid the first of what I’m sure will be many visits to Seattle Art Museum‘s Olympic Sculpture Park, which opened January 20.
First: Several pictures of the PACCAR Pavilion and a long shot of “Seattle Cloud Cover” by Teresita Fernandez.

Followed by: A bunch of the sculptures.

Then: More “Seattle Cloud Cover.”

After that: Neukom Vivarium. I’m not sure exactly what this is, it was closed when I was there.

Next: It’s not quite finished yet …

And: A few miscellaneous snaps.

Best part? Hard to say. It’s free, open every day of the year*, has beautiful architecture and art, and offers terrific views of the city. I guess the best part is — it’s finally open! Wait, that’s second best. The best part is “Seattle Cloud Cover.”
(*The park itself is open 365 days a year. The PACCAR Pavilion, which houses the museum store, cafe, and restrooms, is closed on certain holidays.)
And finally, some shots of the waterfront near Pier 70:

(With all the bikes & bicyclists I saw in the Bay Area last summer, I didn’t see anyone riding under an umbrella. Of course, we didn’t have any rain while I was there.)
