We knew you could do it, Seattle.
The latest: Both Seattle art pieces we submitted in our Axios Local public art contest made it through the first round of voting, advancing to the Elite Eight.
Catch up quick: In honor of March Madness, each Axios Local city in the Mountain West region — Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, San Diego and soon Boulder — submitted two of their best and weirdest pieces of public art.
- We at Axios Seattle leaned into the "weird," submitting the Fremont Troll and Georgetown's Hat n' Boots as our entries.
- Each artwork was seeded No. 1 through 16. And much like the NCAA tournament, there were some major upsets after the first round of voting and some Cinderella stories are brewing.
What's next: We need your help to ensure Seattle is represented in the Final Four! (You know our troll under a bridge is better than that whale on a roundabout in Salt Lake City.)
- Vote below (or at this link) through 11am March 17 to help Seattle advance in the tournament!
