Fun Facts

The Seattle band Soundgarden named themselves after this art installation, which features 12 steel towers that create sound when the wind blows through them.

The installation was designed by artist Douglas Hollis in 1982 as part of the NOAA's Art in Public Places program.

It's situated on the grounds of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Western Service Center in Seattle.

Due to its location on federal property, access is sometimes restricted, and visitors should check availability before planning a visit.

The installation produces eerie, harmonious tones as the wind interacts with its structures, creating a natural symphony.
