This blog is to discuss and to share resources for our neighborhood mural project, which is being organized by the Colman Neighborhood Association. The mural is based on the histories of the people who have lived, struggled and celebrated life here. It is being created by Seattle's Colman/Judkins neighbors. The mural is made possible through a Strong Neighborhoods Action Program grant from the Northwest Insurance Council and the contributions of labor, space and materials by the community.
