Sound Garden Sculpture

The Story

A public art installation by Douglas Hollis with steel pipes and wind vanes that produce tones as the wind passes through next to the NOAA Western Regional Center near Lake Washington. When Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, and Hiro Yamamoto were roommates and students near the University of Washington, they discovered this sculpture and named their band after it. The sound garden still works and still plays and it became a memorial right after the passing of Chris Cornell.
