Chairman’s Corner: A Humorous Twist on Architectural Lighting

(Pete Buck, chairman of the nonprofit board of Northwest Hub, will be contributing serendipitous observations from time to time. He has a tiny camera in the glove box of his car and an eye and ear for what is good in the world. Anyone with ideas for positive happenings, programs, things, etc., should contact him at pete@northwesthub.org.)

I received a rather unexpected call today from Portland’s KXL radio, seeking comment on “my” recent decision to pay the Willamette Light Brigade to change the lights that shine on Portland’s Morrison Bridge to Husky purple and gold. (The goal of the Willamette Light Brigade, a group of community volunteers, is to add “architectural lighting to all the bridges across the Willamette River in Portland”.)

Although I am a Husky fan, I must admit that I had no part in this. Believe it or not, there is more than one Peter Buck in the Seattle legal community, and this time the press belongs to him.

For you Husky or Duck fans out there, check out this article. Who says architectural lighting on transportation corridors can’t be fun?
