This is an article about messages from the street in Seattle by street artists, businesses and attractions. This is about a community coming together during a crisis. Organizers created a bear hunt throughout the city displaying a teddybear in the window. At the same time artists are painting messages of hope on boarded up businesses and empty walls. #bearhunt, #streetart, #Seattle, #community (HST580, Arizona State University)
