Seattle's Painted Traffic Control Boxes 34

Photo by:  Cherri
This is the last of the traffic control boxes painted by Todd Lown and Jesse Brown that I have found.  This box is also funded by the Department of Neighborhoods and supported by the Broadway Business Improvement Assoc.
It is sponsored in part by the Capital Hill Chamber.

I have this marked as located across from Seattle Central Community College Bookstore on Broadway, just south of Denny.  There is a signal there for pedestrians in the middle of the block because it is in the middle of the college campus.  Just to verify that I have this placed correctly, I went to google maps to look at a street view of this location.  The painted traffic control box at that location seems to have a heart painted on it.  So, I traveled along the road in the maps program to Denny and found that the traffic box there is not the one I have listed on this blog either!

My belief is that they have been repainted, but I will have to take a drive up there and check it out for you.  I also will take a drive along 4th street to see if I can find the box I saw with airplanes painted on it south of the stadiums. Hopefully, this will happen next week.  

One last editorial comment:  It infuriates me that someone is so disrespectful of the artist that he would tag this piece of interesting and outstanding street art with his own graffiti gibberish.  Shame on him!
