Sound Garden Sculpture

The Story

A public art installation by Douglas Hollis with steel pipes and wind vanes that produce sounds as the wind passes, near the NOAA Western Regional Center, next to Lake Washington. In 1984, Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, and Hiro Yamamoto discovered this sculpture and named their band after it. The "sound garden" still works and plays, and became a memorial soon after Chris Cornell's death.
