The Hat and Boots

These are the boots. The hat isn't done yet. They used to be part of a gas station on Highway 99. When they built I-5 people stopped taking 99 and soon the Hat and Boots were closed. For years they sat in a vacant lot, crumbling, then some people in the neighborhood decided that the Hat and Boots needed to be saved. Now they sit in a local park. The hat still needs to be restored but the boots have been returned to their original glory with artwork done by the original artist.

The Hat and Boots is VERY Seattle.

Now that's kitsch!
