Chalk mural in Logan, Utah, Summer 2015

Last summer, Emma and I found that reaching out to the public via chalk murals on the sidewalk was more effective than engaging people on the street. We’re very excited to announce that the City of Seattle’s Parks Department has approved our request to draw an Oak Flat mural at the heart of the city, in Westlake Park.

Westlake is an urban park lined with food trucks that hundreds of shoppers crisscross to reach some of the city’s biggest and busiest retail stores. We’re working on the design for the Seattle drawing, and hoping for clear skies Friday and Saturday so we’ll have dry pavement.

If the weather permits, Seattle walkers will have an opportunity to help with the drawing. Hope for clear skies!
