On my way to the bus this morning, I found a 'turtle green' crayon and picked it up. Peggy and I set out to sketch King Street Station and stumbled across some public art granite seats, sandblasted with quotes and images related to the railroad. The basis of this sketch is a rubbing from one of them. And it was fate: the CenturyLink Field sign and Sounder banner are, of course, turtle green!!
