There’s nothing quite like a fresh coat of paint to spruce up an otherwise ordinary spot.
The Seattle Monorail’s guide columns — which keep the train cars lofted above city streets — have a brand new set of murals gracing their gray faces.
Designed and painted in a linocut style by artist Leslie Nan Moon, each artwork depicts one of the Seattle Center’s various structures and festivals such as: Climate Pledge Arena, Northwest Folklife, the Space Needle, nonprofit Skate like a Girl, and the monorail itself.
This set is the second in a series of installments that started last year in celebration of the 2023 MLB All-Star Week. The murals will be on display for the next year and included in the Seattle Center’s self-guided public arts tour.
