Just beyond the north end of Pike Place Market is Victor Steinbrueck Park, a small parcel of land where the Seattle Armory once stood. Since 2012 there has stood a "sculptural celebration of the lives of the homeless in King County." The sculpture grew out ongoing vigils that local groups were held whenever a homeless person in Seattle died. It represents two leaves with many leave cut outs that are lost forever. It is mounted on a glass base whose roots are lit up at night. Clark Wiegman, Karen Keist and Kim Lokan are the artists. There are over 10,000 homeless persons in King County.
