Summary
Today on the podcast, we’re revisiting a conversation from earlier this year about one of Seattle’s most iconic works of art: the Fremont Troll. Steve Badanes, who designed and built the troll, gives Jane and Sam the whole story on how it came to be. He also talks about the state of public art in Seattle, and its past and future. But first, we revisit a conversation that seems to come up in Seattle fairly regularly: Does Green Lake need more light? Jan, Sam, and Liam debate.
