Here, you see a setting that recreates the environment of the Grizzly Bear. The sculpture features two large alert grizzly bears amidst a variety of landscaped plants and brush. Great care was taken in selecting the plants and orientation of the piece to maximize its effect.
The sculpture was first loaned to the city in 1990 by Bill Ballantine, and was purchased in 2005 with contributions by more than 600 citizens of Kirkland.
Mountain Comrades is a great example of how our parks department uses landscaping to complement and enhance Kirkland’s public art.
