Seattle Center Totem - Seattle WA - Outside Wooden Display Carvings on Waymarking.com

The 30' Seattle Center Totem stands at Broad St. & Fourth Ave. N in Seattle, WA. The red cedar pole was carved in 1970 by Duane Pasco who enlisted the aid of Victor Mowatt and Earl Muldon.

The totem reflects the style of the Pacific NW Native American. Pasco was an art teacher at the Gitanmaax (’Ksan) School of Northwest Coast Indian Art in Hazelton, B.C. when he was commissioned to do the Seattle Center Totem. There are four characters -- a hawk at the top keeping watch, a bear with a salmon, a raven and an orca at the bottom.

There are two bronze plaques on the concrete base:
