Chief of the Suquamish – Chief Seattle
Chief of the Suquamish – Chief Seattle, also known as Bust of Chief Seattle and Chief Seattle Fountain, is a bust depicting Chief Seattle by artist James A. Wehn.[1] It was commissioned by the Seattle Park Board to accommodate the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, and initially sat on a fountain for men, dogs and horses.[1]
Versions
The bronze installed at the intersection of First Avenue and Yesler Way in Pioneer Square, Seattle, was created in 1909.[2] It was surveyed and deemed "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in March 1994.[2]
Another version of the bust is installed at Seattle University.[3]
