Thanks to Dan Kearney for the photo. West Seattle artist Desmond Hansen painted that signal box at 35th/Henderson, just north of Southwest Library, this weekend. He wrote on Instagram that the box is dedicated “to children living with disabilities and special needs” – read his full explanation here.
I just saw a new one at Graham and 35th…at least newer that I had missed. Appears to be Eddie Vedder. I wasn’t able to focus on it as I noticed it too late. Love what he is doing for our neighborhoods!

I hope we all appreciate what a gift to the community Desmond’s artwork is.
Saw this piece yesterday and wondered if it was his work. Ride my bike past earlier this afternoon and saw him doing the finishing touches. Beautiful contribution to our cityscape.
I always wondered who did these paintings. I love seeing them around the city. Thank you Desmond!
Desmond, Thank you for brightening our days and providing such beautiful work.(All over the City) This piece represents so much to us. May all families with a Special Needs member know that they are loved and supported by our Community.
Sorry, comment time is over.
