Periscope Tree

History: In 2002 artist Donald Fels was paired with the Courtland Place community through the City of Seattle’s Arts Up program. After listening to neighborhood kids’ stories about climbing trees to watch for people coming up the hill, Fels created the metal tree sculpture with a built-in periscope, allowing passers-by to survey the street below.
