I've just seen an artist's rendering of the centerpiece to be placed in the newly remodeled Burien Town Square. I hope that the City of Burien will allow the public to see the artwork before it is commissioned! After all, your tax money is paying for it.

To me it looks like an auger. I am told it's supposed to represent the history of Burien. The edges of the round circles have saw teeth. This represents the lumbering industry, which is a part of the city's history. Again, that would be hard to decipher, since the teeth are hard to see. It looks nothing like anything connected to a sawmill.
