Unusual landscaping in new traffic circle

A new traffic circle at NW 68th St and 34th Ave NW is “growing” some unusual landscaping.

A MyBallard reader emailed us this photo and says that the Seattle Department of Transportation finished the new circle off with dirt so neighbors are adding a little color. “On Saturday, we planted two pink flamingos in the circle,” the reader writes, “We expected them to disappear, but instead they have multiplied — as of Wednesday afternoon there were four!”
