Bumble Pig - Mount Baker Neighborhood in Seattle WA

Bzzzz or oink? Or perhaps bzzink?

Here, grazing lazily in a front yard garden,

‘Bumble Pig’ finds a permanent home.

During 2001 and again during 2007

(the centennial of the Pike Place Market)

the foundation had hundreds of fiberglass replicas of ‘Rachel the Pig’

(the Pike Place Market’s iconic brass life size piggy bank)

fashioned by local artists.

After the fundraisers were over

the decorated pigs were auctioned off,

a total of 270 pigs.

I occasionally see one here and there around town,

and here of course was one,

full of whimsy!
