A very interesting piece of art that was chosen by a vote of the people as the People's Choice Award winner in the 2014-15 Outdoor Sculpture Gallery season, and was subsequently purchased by the City of Auburn and installed first in a downtown location, and recently relocated to its current location after that property was sold to Sound Transit for a parking garage. I'm thrilled that they found a new home for this whimsical and interesting piece of art. Artists Greg Bartol and Debbie Drillevich made the bird in Green River College's Welding Technologies Lab, answering a call for the City's 2014 gallery show. The piece is described by Bartol as durable, transportable and safe, with a body of recycled materials for the base, legs and the structured interior support. Three thousand spoons went into this piece. The neck is forks and there are serving utensils for the face. Each piece of silverware was individually welded with steel weld-wire. All of the silverware is stainless steel to maintain its lustre and durability.
Go to the posted coordinates and look at the artwork. If the art has two chicks at the base of the sculpture, the Final coordinates are N47 16.939 and W122 12.115. If the art has no chicks at the base of the sculpture, the Final coordinates are N47 16.953 and W122 12.449. Now that you have determined the correct coordinates for the final, proceed to find the cache container, which is a short distance away.
