Seattle is crushing our Axios Local contest to crown the best public art city in the Mountain West.
The latest: Both of the Emerald City's art entries have made it to the Final Four.
- None of the other seven cities in the competition (San Francisco, Boulder, Denver, San Diego, Portland, Phoenix or Salt Lake City) achieved that feat.
Catch up quick: In the last round of voting, the Fremont Troll beat Out of the Blue, a colorful whale that rises from a roundabout in Salt Lake City.
- Georgetown's Hat n' Boots, meanwhile, bested The Yearling in Denver.
What's next: Final Four voting runs through Wednesday at 11am PT.
