The Ship Canal isn't so pretty from here

Elissa Washuta spent the summer of 2016 as artist in residents in the tower of the Fremont Bridge.

Bill Radke speaks with Elissa Washuta about her time as an artist in resident in the Fremont Bridge during the summer of 2016. Washuta had always thought of Seattle as a beautiful city. But that changed as she spent time in the tower — starting with the water she looked at every day in the ship canal.

Washuta will present some writings from her time in the tower on February 18 at Seattle Public Library Central Branch.
