You have a chance to FIND one of these unique floats, stashed all over West Seattle and just waiting for you to find them. Get out there let the hunt begin!
Are you ready to go on a scavenger hunt?
For the first time ever, the West Seattle community will participate in what we’re calling The Great West Seattle Float Hunt!
From the fiery kilns of Avalon Glassworks are born unique glass floats, each emblazoned with the spirit of West Seattle.
Avalon Glassworks offered this description:
Hand blown by Avalon Glassworks, the West Seattle Float is a decorative glass sphere inspired by a vintage fishing float that once buoyed a net. This sturdy ball is sealed with a Heart ❤️ WS commemorative stopper button. The design of this glass float is inspired by the West Seattle shore. Predominantly blue, the ball has spots of white creating a rocky beach foreground with ocean waves beyond. A band of transparent aqua blue represents the sky, on which sparkly blue aventurine glass shines like stars. This gazing ball is suitable for indoor or outdoor decoration and will float in a water feature, if you choose. The West Seattle Float is approximately 4.25" in diameter.
Beginning Friday August 19th and going until they’re all found, these individually numbered and highly prized floats will be hidden all around West Seattle in retail stores and public spaces, secured with netting and accompanied by an instruction card.
While only one per family is permitted, these floats are valuable well beyond their monetary cost since they are each singular in nature and represent the beauty of West Seattle.
