Statue of
Chief Seattle:
Tilikum Place, downtown Seattle
In 1912, local sculptor James Wehn created this magnificent, meticulously researched
statue of Chief Seattle. Myrtle Loughery, the chief's great-great
granddaughter, unveiled it on Founder's Day, November
13, 1912. Renovated in 1975, the Chief Seattle sculpture today presides
over Tilikum Place, a small square at the intersection of Fifth Avenue, Denny Way, and Cedar
Street, near the southeastern corner of the Seattle Center. (Notice
Seattle's famous Space Needle in the background.)
