Octopus Recycler mural: Monday Mural

Though this mural is untitled, I thought it looked like a giant octopus recycler. The octopus appeared to be busy sorting through treasures it had found. It’s not far from the shoreline of Puget Sound in Edmonds, Washington. This mural was painted by Andy Eccleshall and it’s on the back of the Salish Crossing building.

It was hard to capture the entire painting with my camera. The mural also included this colorful crab. The business right next to the crab is appropriately named “Stranded by the Sea.”
