Information from Seattle Department of Transportation

Earlier this summer, a local artist created salmon drawings that High Point community members filled in with their own designs. This fall, we'll install the salmon designs on High Point streets.

Thank you, High Point community, for your involvement in this project!

About the salmon art project

This artwork is part of the High Point Healthy Street project.

Each salmon will be about 6 feet long and made with a strong material, helping them last about 7 to 10 years with little or no maintenance. The salmon will “leap” along SW Graham St and 31st Ave SW, leading to the intersection.

The salmon will be installed in the middle of the street. People can still drive on the them and they won’t be covered by people parking on the side of the street.

Next steps for the High Point Healthy Street

With the West Seattle Bridge reopened, we’re collecting new traffic data and having further conversations with the community about this Healthy Street. We will share about about upcoming public engagement activities through these email updates.
