My Favorite pic from visit to Tacoma Murals Projec My Favorite pic from visit to Tacoma Murals Project... 
Artist: Saiyare Rafael @_saikick_ @justseeds 
(sadly it tells the story about mistreatment of immigrants and Native Americans... read more below)

Visited Tacoma, WA today. (Just 30 miles south of Seattle) specifically to see some street art. Tacoma had a Tacoma Murals Project. Between 2010 and 2017 more than 20 artists completed 35 murals as well as painting traffic signal boxes. Check out the Tacoma Murals Project at  www.cityofTacoma.org.  There is a public art tour map which will help you do you own self-guided tour. 

Additional Explanation....
The entirety of America is built on genocide of Native Americans and stolen native land. Tacoma WA is the ancestral home of the Puyallup Tribe. 

NWDC: Northwest Detention Center
This is a private, for-profit immigrant prison owned by GEO Group on behalf of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

LNG - Liquified Natural Gas
the Puget Sound Energy (PSE) liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility, continues to be built without permits in Tacoma, WA on Medicine Creek Treaty territory.  the Puyallup Tribe’s calls for Governor Inslee and the Washington Department of Ecology to initiate a supplemental review that honors the Tribe’s legal rights to consultation, evaluate the changes to the project, and fairly weigh the science of methane pollution from fracked gas infrastructure.
