The Salmon Run Bell Tower is a bell tower and glockenspiel in Vancouver, Washington's Esther Short Park, in the United States.[1]
The tower is in Propstra Square,[2] the southeast corner of Esther Short Park, near the intersection of 6th and Columbia Street. The 69-foot (21 m) tower was designed by architect Cindy Sterry, and features a clock by the Verdin Bells & Clock Company and glockenspiel diorama which tells a story about the Chinookan peoples.[3] The tower also features the art installation Spiraling Salmon by Jim Demetro,[3] who also designed the nearby statue of George Vancouver (2000). The installation features bronze sculptures of salmon.[4]
