Luna Girls on Alki is an astronomically named sculpture just south of
Seacrest Park along the Alki Trail in West Seattle.
The Luna Girls, nine-foot-tall bathing beauties cut from slab steel, were created by local artist
Lezlie Jane, who also had a hand in
Constellation Park and the Avenue of Stars that we featured in a post back in December. The Luna Park amusement park at Duwamish Head was open from 1907 until 1913, though the attached swimming pools operated until 1931. The Luna Girls in their twenties beach attire continue to welcome visitors to the neighborhood.
If you'd like your own Luna Girl, or the entire trio, 20-inch-tall replicas can be purchased at Alki Arts gallery.
