FlipBooks is a larger-than-life flipbook-style animation that celebrates the characteristic splendors of the Pacific Northwest: Mt. Rainier, salmon streams, blossoming flowers, abundant wildlife, and more.

Inspired by a photograph in the collection at the Shoreline Historical Museum depicting a series of Burma Shave-style advertising signs along the original Interurban, FlipBooks playfully animates these quintessential images of our region.

Using the idiom of traffic signs and materials typically used by the Department of Transportation and found in urban landscapes, the artwork whimsically invites users of the trail to experience a sense of movement and play along the public right-of-way.
