The Emissary Raven sculpture has been stolen from its pedestal located at the 145th Street Interurban trailhead.
Donated to the City by the Shoreline Rotary in 2005, the sculpture was created by artist Tony Angell and was conceived as a welcoming form for travelers moving along the Interurban Trail into Shoreline.
If you have any information about the theft of the art or its current location, please contact Shoreline Police Sergeant Scott Fitchett at 206-801-2756 or email scott.fitchett@kingcounty.gov. Reference case number C24023871. You can remain anonymous.
We will accept the return of the sculpture with no questions asked. Please contact Public Art Coordinator Mylinda Sneed at 206-801-2661 or msneed@shorelinewa.gov to coordinate its return.
The Sadako statue near the University Bridge in Seattle was recently stolen too. They seem to be targeting bronze castings. It may be prudent to secure other bronze statues, such as the ponies at Ronald Bog, until the thieves move on and find a new hobby.
ReplyDeleteIf we actually prosecute criminals, then thefts like this will decrease. It's just common sense.
ReplyDeleteSo sad!
ReplyDeleteI love Shoreline's public art. I hope the raven is found intact. It was such a fun way to be welcomed when riding along the trail.
