Mural, 2nd Ave, Seattle

August 6, 2025

Second Avenue near the Pike/Pine corridor, centered on 1521 2nd Avenue, a block from Pike Place Market. Murals and rotating street art have long animated this stretch—alley cut‑throughs, service doors, and construction walls becoming informal canvases between downtown and the market.

As nearby blocks evolved from low‑rise retail to high‑rise residential and hotel projects, the ad‑hoc art scene persisted, often tied to neighborhood events and artist collectives. Pieces come and go with the seasons, leaving behind a layered record of the corridor’s changing face and its creative undercurrent.
