A very busy place during the summer. From this location you have a great view of Puget Sound, and may see much maritime activity, including cargo ships, cruise ships, a Washington State Ferry and Highway 99.
The Farmer's Pole stands near a totem pole near the fence in the park that overlooks the sound. It is hard to miss it.
The plaque on the pole reads:
Designed by Victor Steinbrueck
