We went and saw the one on Bainbridge last week, super cool, great setting and placement within the trees. I'm a fan of what this guys doing, the recycling, repurpising, community participation etc all good stuff.

I really hope no spray paint turd tags these, they are incredible! The riddle for each and reuse of materials is all so neat.

Thank you! I was just wondering about when the Issaquah Troll would be completed. Perfect timing. Time for a family outing this weekend...

Saw this one Sunday on the bank of the Manisique river in Germfask Michigan’s upper peninsula. It has to be about 20’ high. It was built in July.

My brother just installed this in Ballard, Not a troll but certainly fish related.
