Piece Description
You?ve probably heard people call Seattle the "Emerald City". It?s a tribute to the natural beauty of our region. But you might just as well call this place the "Art City".

Today, in the first report in our five part series Going Public, KUOW?s Marcie Sillman takes us on a tour of some of the public art that?s found a place in our hearts.
