Mobility is a human right and King County Metro is committed to getting people where they need to go—safely, equitably, and sustainably. As part of their transition to a 100% zero-emissions fleet powered by renewable energy, Metro is expanding capacity at its South Campus to house, operate, and maintain approximately 250 new battery electric buses.
This campus expansion will occur at their South Annex property, 11911 East Marginal Way South in Tukwila, WA, just west of the existing South Base facility. After construction, South Annex Base (SAB) will function as a stand-alone bus base with maintenance and operations to support its fleet.
4Culture, working closely with Metro and SAB lead artists Haddad|Drugan (Laura Haddad and Tom Drugan), is seeking an individual artist/designer or a collaborative team of artists and designers to develop a collection of functional tables that comfortably accommodate conversation and collective activities unique to their specific locations and desired functions within the base:
-Administrative building meeting table. Interior. Unique design. 1 delivered.
-Bus service and maintenance area break tables. Interior. Replicable design. 4 delivered.
-BBQ corner eating and gaming table. Exterior. Unique design. 1 delivered.
-Riverton Creek picnic tables. Exterior. Replicable design. 4 delivered.
The tables should complement existing design schemes and elevate themes of connectivity (people, power, place), empowerment (energy, equity, electricity), sustainability, and biophilia, tying to Living Building Challenge and public art program goals to help make the experience of working at the SAB more enjoyable for the hundreds of Metro administrators, bus operators, and maintenance professionals that will be on site around the clock, 7 days per week.
The selected artist/designer or team will be responsible for design, fabrication, and arranging the physical delivery of the tables to the base. The cost of delivery will be covered by 4Culture and installation may be conducted by the artist/team or a Metro contractor, to be determined based on the nature of the final designs.

4Culture, working closely with Metro and SAB lead artists Haddad|Drugan (Laura Haddad and Tom Drugan), is seeking an individual artist or team of artists from Washington or Oregon to create an original surface treatment or low-relief artwork (up to 4” in depth) to activate the prominent (approximately 11’ high x 20’ wide) lobby feature wall in the SAB administrative building.
The piece will serve as a welcoming gesture to all Metro staff and visitors and be visible from multiple interior and exterior vantage points. Be it carved, assembled, painted, mosaic, light, digital or other media, the artwork should be appropriately scaled for the site, complement existing design schemes, convey a Pacific Northwest sense of place, and elevate themes of connectivity (people, power, place), empowerment (energy, equity, electricity), sustainability, and biophilia, tying to Living Building Challenge and public art program goals.
The selected artist or team will be responsible for design, fabrication, and installation of the artwork post-construction. However, some coordination with the SAB project team may be needed to specify appropriate lighting, reinforcement behind the wall, and finishes among other items.

4Culture, working closely with Metro and SAB lead artists Haddad|Drugan (Laura Haddad and Tom Drugan), is seeking two King County, WA, based artists to create distinct but complementary site-specific surface treatment designs for interior walls in the base’s 1st floor dispatch hallway and 2nd floor dayroom.
The imagery should help define these gathering spaces, complement existing design schemes, convey a Pacific Northwest sense of place, and elevate themes of connectivity (people, power, place), empowerment (energy, equity, electricity), sustainability, and biophilia, tying to Living Building Challenge and public art program goals.
This is a unique opportunity for regional emerging or mid-career artists who want to gain experience in the field of public art, bridging the gap between studio and public practice by translating their two-dimensional work into permanent media on a large scale.
The selected artists will be responsible for creating digital files that meet technical requirements defined by the SAB interiors team. The interiors team will provide final dimensions of the walls, information about print media and possible finishes, and supervise production and application/installation of the designs to be implemented by a Metro contractor. Haddad|Drugan, with the support of the 4Culture Project Manager, will provide mentorship to the artists throughout the process.

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
Call opens: Thursday, August 15, 2024
Call closes: Monday, September 16th, 2024, 11:59pm (PST)
Budget $3,000
BUDGET DESCRIPTION
A selection panel will select three artists/artist teams to create a detailed project proposal for their approach to creating an artwork with the remnants of the Kalakala ferry. The winning proposal will be presented to Kirkland City Council for approval.
SCOPE OF WORK
The selected Artist/Artist Team will use salvaged pieces of the Kalakala that the City of Kirkland purchased in 2015, to create a new artwork that honors Kirkland’s past and future.
“At its debut in 1935, the Kalakala, named after the Chinook word for bird, was the largest and fastest ferry on Puget Sound, a bold statement of imagination after the Great Depression.“ (History Link)
Kirkland, located in East King County, is known for its Lake Washington waterfront, vibrant downtown, parks, and robust public art collection. The Kirkland City Council has taken action to ensure that the City is safe and welcoming for residents and visitors alike. With this project, the City seeks public art that addresses those aspirations and reflects the City’s diversity, including racial and ethnic diversity, diversity of sexual identity and orientation, gender diversity, and diversity of age and ability.
The City of Kirkland has changed tremendously since it was the site that built the Kalakala. As of 2024, it is recorded that 92,015 residents live in Kirkland, with a median age of 38, up from just over 2,000 residents in 1935. Kirkland's demographics have shifted as well, to a growing Asian, Hispanic, and Black population. Kirkland is now home to many companies like Google and Costco, and it was the original home for the Seattle Seahawks football team.
Honoring both the origins of the ferry's name, which is rooted in the history and language of the Chinook people, and the City's fast-growing, diverse population, Kirkland is ready for a reimagining of the Kalakala that fosters a sense of belonging and pride for both residents and visitors.
Three Artists/Artist teams will be selected to create a detailed artwork proposal. Each Artist/Artist Team will receive a $3,000 stipend for their proposal and retain all copyright privileges. We recommend creating a proposal for a permanent artwork that is between $150,000-$175,000. The selected artist and budget will be presented to Kirkland City Council for final approval. Upon approval, the artist will move into contracting. There is no guarantee of work after proposals are submitted.
ARTWORK GOALS
For this call we are asking artists to work with the wheelhouse portion of the ferry, in parts or as a whole.
Here is a link to learn more about the salvaged pieces of the Kalakala purchased by the City of Kirkland:
https://www.kirklandwa.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/boards-and-commissions/kalakala-display-iconic-salvage.pdf
ARTWORK LOCATION
The artwork(s) will be sited at the south trailhead of the Cross Kirkland Corridor, Kirkland, WA.
SITE HISTORY
The ferry Kalakala was launched from the Lake Washington Shipyards in Kirkland on July 2, 1935. Between 1935 and 1967, the streamlined ferry plied the waters of Puget Sound, carrying commuting workers between Seattle and the naval shipyard in Bremerton. Auctioned off in 1967, the Kalakala spent the next 31 years in Alaska, serving as a fish processor. The vessel returned to Seattle on November 6, 1998. After failed attempts to raise sufficient funds to restore her, she was auctioned off, moved to Neah Bay, removed from Neah Bay, and in September 2004 moved to Tacoma. In 2015, with no further hope for restoration, the Kalakala was dismantled for scrap metal. (History Link). That same year, the City of Kirkland purchased several pieces of the historic ferry and has allocated funds for the development of art concepts with future funding to be determined.
Read more about the history of the Kalakala here -¬ https://www.historylink.org/file/312.
ELIGIBILITY
This call is open to all artists living and working in Washington State.
SELECTION PROCESS
Three Artists/Artist teams will be selected to create a detailed artwork proposal, including sketches, proposed approach, materials, and budget.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Artists will be evaluated based on the artistic expression of their past work and how their letter of interest relates to the scope of work.

Museum Overview:
As a National Park Service Affiliated Area and the first Smithsonian affiliate in the Pacific Northwest, the Wing Luke Museum offers an authentic and unique perspective on the American story. Nationally recognized for our work in creating dynamic, community-driven exhibitions and programs, we put our community at the heart of each exhibition we create. The stories you see and hear within our walls are their authentic experiences and perspectives. From the struggles of early Asian pioneers to accomplished works by national Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) artists, their contributions give us a look at what it means to be uniquely American. Our 60,000 square foot facilities offer three floors to tell our communities’ stories, with contemporary galleries showcasing both temporary and permanent exhibitions as well as preserved historic spaces accessible only through our daily guided tours. Beyond our walls, we tell the story of our neighborhood, Seattle’s Chinatown-International District, and activate and steward multiple sites throughout the area. While economically challenged, it is a historically and culturally vibrant area, and we see ourselves as a neighborhood concierge and an economic anchor for nearby small businesses. From restaurants to statues that you might not otherwise notice, there are layers of history and significance that are waiting to be uncovered. Wing Luke Museum offers guided neighborhood tours and events that will encourage you to discover stories and tastes both on and off the beaten path.
