Location: 1172 Necanicum, corner of 12th & Necanicum; Goodman Park in Seaside, Oregon.

Mosaic mural of salmon. The mural is a redesigned version of the original mosaic mural which sat on the wall of the old Safeway building in Seaside. When the new Safeway was built Mike Hinton carefully took down all of the tiles and kept them in buckets for safe keeping. After some years, a building was constructed that would be a fitting place for the mural (at 12th Ave bridge where crabbing and fishing is a daily way of life). Mike and his team, along with one of the original tile setters Mario Ferrarin redesigned the mural to fit at its current location.

Mosaic mural is on exterior north wall of restroom building.
