Mural at Bergen Place Traditional Cache

This is the third cache in our Murals series. It is placed in an urban environment, so use stealth and reposition carefully.

Located at Bergen Place in Ballard, the mural was painted by Mike Svob & Allan Wylie in 1995 to commemorate the community’s rich and prosperous history.

The lumber and maritime industries portrayed in the mural were predominant along Ballard’s waterfront in the 1880s. These industries attracted Scandinavians to this area in the early 1900s, creating ties between Ballard and Scandinavia that have spanned generations.

The area also has other interesting things to see, so check them out too.
