The Statue of Liberty, officially known as Liberty Enlightening the World, was presented to the United States by "the people of France" in 1886. Standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, it welcomes visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans traveling by ship. The copper-clad statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence and was given to the United States to represent the friendship established during the American Revolution. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue and obtained a U.S. patent for its structure. Maurice Koechlin - chief engineer of Gustave Eiffel's engineering company and designer of the Eiffel Tower - engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repoussé technique, where a malleable metal is hammered on the reverse side.

Mr. PG (Mr. Prince George) is a sight to behold. Measuring 8.138 metres tall, the mascot is situated at the junction of highway 97 and highway 16. Originally created in 1960 as a symbol of the importance of the wood industry in the city, the wood version started to rot. As such a newer iteration was fabricated in 1983. It is now made of fiberglass and sheet metal. (I’m unsure of what this symbolizes.)

The Freemont Troll lives under the northernmost section of the I-99 bridge (Aurora Bridge) across Lake Washington. The huge sculpture holds an actual Volkswagon Beetle in its hand. He's been there since 1990 when Seattle area artists Steve Badanes, Will Martin, Donna Walter and Ross Whitehead created him for the Fremont Arts Council. He's pretty rad.
