A perfect collaboration
Magnolia chamber commissions artist to paint mural celebrating neighborhood industries, history By Jessica Keller
QA&Mag News editor When Ballard artist Ariel Parrow reached out to the Magnolia
Chamber of Commerce earlier this year to gauge the organization’s interest in having her paint a large-scale piece of art — her specialty — in the neighborhood,
she had no idea her proposal would receive such an enthusiastic reception. Not only did the Magnolia chamber welcome Parrow’s pitch, it actually was perfectly timed because the organization had already been contemplating ideas to transform a certain area of Magnolia. Chamber Executive Director Jason Thibeaux said members had
been discussing for some time how to transform the northeast quadrant of Magnolia off Commodore Way. That section of Magnolia is one of the few areas zoned for light industrial in Seattle, he said, and the businesses there fill a vital, albeit understated, niche in Magnolia and Seattle’s economy.
