Held in conjunction with the monthly Art Up Greenwood-Phinney Art Walk, more than 30 venues had artists on display, including this live painting exhibition outside the Greenwood Collective, by Matamuros (Seattle Urban Mural Crew). Thanks, Brian Hart for the photo!

Plenty of Seattle Police were on hand, with the Segway rider and the Harley-riding motorcycle cops being especially popular.
