“Glass is the most magical of all materials. It transmits light in a special way.” (-Dale Chihuly)

When I was visiting Tacoma, I saw the famous Chihuly Bridge of Glass. It is absolutely amazing: two "crystal" towers comprised of cerulean blue chunks of glass that twist and turn in the light of day or night.

Anyone familiar with Dale Chihuly knows his stunning installations and dramatic use of glass. Since he lives in the Puget Sound area, his work is celebrated here.

"I love to go to the ocean and walk along the beach. Glass is so much like water. If you let it go on its own, it almost ends up looking like something that came from the sea." (—Chihuly)
