West Seattle scene: Dedication day for Lions’ new mural

| West Seattle news | White Center | WS culture/arts

Thanks to the WSB reader who shared photos from the West Seattle Lions‘ mural dedication today at 17th and Roxbury – that’s artist Xavier Lopez Jr. above, signing his creation. Just last month, he was honored as a White Center Hero for his role in the mural art that’s popping up all around the area, including the work dedicated today.

Jimmie and Mark are the real heroes, along with the people of White Center and West Seattle, many of whom I had the extreme pleasure of meeting as I painted this behemoth! White Center and West Seattle–you guys are awesome and I have enjoyed every minute I have spent painting for you–look for me to finish the wall next to Taco Bell as soon as the weather clears up! Cheers!
