Description |
English: In 1905 22-year-old Seattle sculptor James A. Wehn applied for and eventually won the commission of a local improvement fund to design a fountain and statue at the corner of Denny Way, Cedar Street and Fifth Avenue. His copper statue of Chief Si'ahl (Chief Seattle) at Tilikum Place was unveiled on Founders Day, November 13, 1912, by the Chief's great-great-granddaughter Myrtle Loughery. Atop a pedestal with bear heads spouting streams of water, the Chief stands with arm raised in greeting to the first white settlers that landed at Alki Point in 1851. Tilikum means "welcome" or "greetings" in Chinook. A bust of Chief Si'ahl, also by James A. Wehn, stands in Pioneer Square. Signs in image: Fifth Avenue Transfer & Fuel Co. Laundry.
