Good things are going on in Seattle. A nasty fuel storage center bordering the Puget Sound waterfront is now the site of the Olympic Sculpture Park due to open next weekend. It will feature 21 sculptures by well-known artists. The park runs a cool $85 million and is part of a project to expand the Seattle Art Museum, another beneficiary of some of the Microsoft/Starbucks money that has been filtering into the public sphere lately. No matter where the money's coming from it's always nice to see some urban renewal, too bad that for now it's too cold to enjoy it.

We've started a Flickr photo group for shots of the sculpture park. There are some great ones up there already, and we would love to see yours and your readers best shots!
