When our family parked across the street from Seattle Aquarium we noticed this metallic sculpture of a squid. We just assumed it was part of the art promoting the aquarium. Little did I realize until I got back to the hotel room and looked it up on the internet that it is in fact a sculpture AND bike rack! There was no plaque near the sculpture or sign to encourage people to park their bikes on the sculpture so I have to wonder how practical this bike rack really is.

Visit the artist's website which describes this sculpture.
