During the COVID-19 Stay at Home closures many areas in Seattle have employed artists to paint murals to hide the forlorn appearance of the plywood coverings protecting doors and windows. The murals serve several purposes: they bring life and color to the neighborhoods; they employ artists who may be looking for work during this time; they reduce the amount of tagging that could occur; and many convey encouraging messages.
The murals are both inspirational in their spirit and a reminder of the massive changes brought on by this pandemic.
The murals in this gallery represent Ballard, Capitol Hill, Georgetown and the International District. This is not every mural out there.
The photos in this gallery align with the Six Photo Story: The COVID Diaries: Murals Part 1.
I’m also in process of posting these images to my Instagram account, @Brenda_Pederson, where the artists and locations will be tagged whenever possible.

The murals in this gallery represent Belltown and the Pioneer Square area. This is not every mural out there.
Most of these images have also been posted to my Instagram accounts, @Brenda_Pederson and @SixPhotoStory, where the artists and locations will be tagged whenever possible.
Murals found in Ballard, Capitol Hill Georgetown and the Internatinal District can be found in the The COVID Diaries: Murals Part 1 gallery.
