WTO Gallery

Iconic turtle costumes, t-shirts and signs are included in the WTO exhibit at MOHAI marking 25 years since the international meeting in Seattle was shut down by demonstrators. (Feliks Banel/KIRO Newsradio) "Teamster Turtles and Beyond" is a new WTO 25th anniversary exhibit at MOHAI. (Feliks Banel/KIRO Newsradio) The exhibit includes a giant map of downtown Seattle which was created for a command post used by protest organizers in 1999; Mikala Woodward, MOHAI curator of community engagements points to the location of that post at Olive Street and Denny Way. (Feliks Banel/KIRO Newsradio) Pine Street was temporarily renamed "Union Way" to accommodate labor marchers whose request to march on Union Street was rejected by security officials because it was too close to where meetings were being held at the Convention Center; the sign was donated by former SPD official Jim Pugel (seen below at center in a vintage photo in the display).
