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!”
Unusual landscaping in new traffic circle
I hope they stay around. The clocks that were hanging all over the tree on our traffic circle on 17th have mostly disappeared. Bummer.
Polish neighbors?!
shut up bigot
I thought that kind of multiplication only happened with bunnies.
I wondered what happened to the ‘flock’ that nested in the tree at Archie McPhee’s (sp) when it was on Market Street. Now I know!!!
Nice. Until this all I had seen were tire tracks of cars running over the circle.
Can’t make Irish jokes around you either 2010ski?
I hope they don’t stay>! They are as messy as Canadian geese>!
shut up bigot
All that pink poop?
It has come to my attention that those pink flamingos are all members of the Ballard Chamber, so I will have to boycott that traffic circle.
There is a swamp in Beaverton by dog park–a couple of years there were 2 flamings out in the middle. In the spring there were 6 babies. Fun.
Now up to six flamingoes, a bunch of ducks and a stone squirrel.
Seriously? That is so cool!!
Haha!
