Long Description:Salmon Run Clock/Bell Tower and Glockenspiel is located in downtown
Vancouver at 6th & Columbia Street in the southeast corner of
Esther Short Park, Washington state's oldest public square.
The bells were cast in the Netherlands and shipped to Vancouver
for this impressive public artwork. Four five-foot bronze salmons
"leap" off the tower as jets of water spray down the sides. A
Chinook Indian story is inscribed in the basalt column around the
base.
The highlight is its animated, three-scene glockenspiel
depicting a Chinook Tribal legend which plays several times
throughout the day, beginning at noon and every two hours
thereafter until 4:00 p.m. The bells ring every hour from 8:00 a.m.
to 8:00 p.m.
