Overview
4Culture and King County’s Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD) will commission an artist or artist-led team to foster an emotional connection to wastewater management—and its effects on water quality and the Puget Sound marine ecosystem—by stimulating curiosity and increasing appreciation for critical hidden infrastructure. This exciting opportunity is connected to the Alki Standby Generator project, which will make critical improvements to the existing WTD Alki Wet Weather Treatment Station (WWTS) and 63rd Ave Pump Station located in West Seattle.
An artist or artist-led team from King County, WA, will work with 4Culture and King County Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD) to create innovative, new work that creates an emotional connection to our place in the water cycle, intertidal habitat, and the marine ecosystem of the Salish Sea.
