If you’ve been stopped at a traffic light in Pierce County, you’ve likely seen some beautiful pieces of art in unlikely places. In an effort to bring art to the community and beautify the utilitarian boxes that house traffic signal wires, the Pierce County Arts Commission in 2022 began a project to wrap signal boxes with the work of local artists.
Although I cannot find information on the artist for this box, I really appreciate the lovely colors used.
The local squirrels in Gig Harbor, WA, include native species like the Douglas Squirrel and the endangered Western Gray Squirrel, alongside the non-native Eastern Gray Squirrel. The small, noisy Douglas squirrel with ear tufts is common in coniferous forests.
There is a small pull out on the shoulder for a quick park and grap.
