After more than 2 and 1/2 years of mostly pro bono work, the new plaza for the Alki Statue of Liberty was unveiled. Hundreds of people showed up for the event.
I feel great relief and satisfaction--it is akin to an adrenaline rush--to see people in the plaza hanging out, enjoying the weather. We've created a landmark, a community touchstone.
This project has been a marathon test of endurance and will, and it shouldn't be like that. Our public realm would be much richer if the barriers set by the powers that be were a little lower.
