WEST SEATTLE SCENE: Street stripe refreshed for another St. Patrick’s Day

It wouldn’t be St. Patrick’s Day without a look at the mysterious green stripe that leprechaun(s) refresh every year along 41st SW north of SW Admiral Way. This year, the photos are courtesy of a reader who got an aerial view via drone.

Who does this? That remains a mystery – and some have suggested over the years that it’s not a bad thing to have a few mysteries remain.

    This little green stripe brings a smile to my face every year. My 23 year old just asked last night, “Do they still paint the green stripe in Admiral”?

    I’ve been wanting to see the Green Mile for a while now :)

    I absolutly love this act of art.  It is at its essence a Seattle treasure.

    I wonder if we could hire the leprechaun to paint the other streets in Seattle. The city desperately need the lines to be maintained. When it’s dark and rainy I can never see the strrdt lines. Where is my hard tax money going too? Not the Seattle streets.
