Betty Bowen Viewpoint
Hillside overlook with an unsigned concrete walkway hand-marked by six noted regional artists.
This guide to Betty Bowen Viewpoint on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle starts with an unlabeled concrete walkway in Marshall Park, pressed with private marks left in 1977 by six celebrated Pacific Northwest artists, among them Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan and Morris Graves. It traces why they came here quietly, without plaques or their names attached, to honor Betty Bowen, a journalist turned art promoter who spent three decades pushing Seattle to take its own artists seriously and helped found the Seattle Art Museum. She also fought to save Pike Place Market from demolition and mentored much of the city's art scene from a house one block downhill from the path.
