The Mask that inspired Seahawks logo
The native mask carved in the late 19th on Vancouver Island that inspired the original Seattle Seahawks logo is now on exhibit in Seattle.
In 1975 the NFL commissioned a logo for the newly formed Seattle Seahawks team. The designers were inspired by the northwest art and especially by this transformation mask depicting an eagle.
If you want to see the mask, learn more about it and the ceremony during which it was worn, go to the Burke Museum. The mask is part of the current exhibit: “Here and Now – Native Artists Inspired”.

I’ll write more about the exhibit in the following days.

Olympic Sculpture Park
Chose a beautiful, sunny day to walk through Seattle Art Museum Olympic Sculpture Park and admire the Olympics in the distance.
I love the iconic Eagle by Alexander Calder but there are a lot more great modern pieces to admire.
Echo, the newly installed 45 feet tall sculpture by Jaume Plensa, looks peacefully out over Puget Sound, take a seat and you can do the same!
