Sadly, the mysteriously-appearing
Seattle Monolith has mysteriously disappeared.
Park officials said only some burned
candles and a
rose were in its place.
Workers at Magnuson Park discovered the monolith missing the morning of January 3, 2001. No one has yet claimed credit for installing or removing the monolith.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
The day after the monolith disappeared, it reappeared at Duck Island in Green Lake.
A group of artists known as "Some People" came forward to claim responsibility for the project and said they spent months planning the monumental erection. The group also denied responsibility for moving the statue to Duck Island, which is about 50 yards off the shore of Green Lake. They also said they would like to reclaim the monolith, but they have no way to retrieve it from the island.
