  • The outstretched hand of Buster Simpson’s Beckoning Cistern (2002) manages roof stormwater runoff from the 81 Vine Street Building.  The sculpture was funded by the Seattle Public Utilities 1% for Art Program to support the Growing Vine Street Project, a green street concept developed in the 1990s in Seattle’s Belltown district.  The concept of Growing Vine Street is to use biofiltration and other Green Street elements to treat stormwater before it is released directly into Elliott Bay.  This functional sculpture performs flow control and treatment for urban runoff in a visible and demonstrative way, bringing public awareness to the City’s water conservation efforts.

The Water Garden is part of the Growing Vine Street Project, a green street initiative in Seattle’s Belltown district.

  • Branching Downspouts at the 81 Vine Street Building in Seattle, by artist Buster Simpson.  These “vertical planters” bring Green Street elements to the streetscape as part of the Growing Vine Street Project.

The downspout planters are made from corrugated aluminum pipe, connected in-line with the building’s roof downspout.
