Along the corridor between stations

"The Braid"
Norie Sato

The Braid is a system-wide artwork that incorporates two aspects.

(a) Tiles incorporating the image of a braid will be the tactile way-finding element on the station platforms. This artwork was designed in collaboration with Sound Transit Citizen's Advisory Accessibility Committee.

(b) The entrance to each LINK Station will have a tall metal marker with a three strand, braid-like shape.

Hudson Retaining Wall

"Sound of Light,"
Dick Elliott

Artist Dick Elliott will create a sense of surprise by adding colorful, patterned panels made of layers of circular reflectors, participating in the cultural conversation through the universal language of pattern. Elliott collaborated with the landscape architect to create a sense of rhythm and harmonic relationship between the landscape and wall. The result will be a magical, glowing wall that constantly changes as you move along it.

Walden Street Systems Building Screening
Barbara Thomas

A four-panel cut and forged metal artwork will screen the systems building from the street. The artwork will consist of images and text that tell the story of "how the crows created the earth from lightning."

Overhead Contact System Poles (OCS)
Dan Corson And Norie Sato

All poles in the corridor, except those at stations, will incorporate a specially designed top to reinforce the identity of the system and create a unique element for the Rainier Valley.
