I was confused by the name of this park--when had Seattle ever hosted the Olympics?--until Zoltan provided a very basic geography lesson: it refers to the mountain range visible across the Puget Sound which edges the park on one side.

| "Schubert Sonata" by Mark Di Suvero (1992) |
 |
| "Wake" by Richard Serra (2002-03) |
"Seattle Cloud Cover" by Teresita Fernández (2004-06) straddles railroad tracks on which trains still operate.
Can you spot the Space Needle?

| "Echo" by Juame Plensa (2011) |

| "Split" by Roxy Paine (2003) |
 |
| "Father & Son" Fountain by Louise Bourgeois (2005) |
I enjoyed the Olympic Sculpture Park more than either the Space Needle or MPoP. Free admission didn't hurt.
