We ended up in Portland last weekend, and while there, we checked troll number three of six off our list! These massive recycled-wood sculptures by artist Thomas Dambo are scattered across the PNW, and Ole Bolle was our latest target. #Portland #NWTrolls

Unexpectedly ran into another one of Thomas Dambo’s giant troll sculptures while out walking in a park. This time on Vashon Island. I knew they were around - it’s pretty amazing to just walk along and suddenly there it is. This one has a crown of birdhouses.

Third stop on the NW Trolls tour: Oscar the Bird King, at Point Robinson on Vashon Island.

I don't think we'll make the fourth one today even though it's near the ferry terminal on the Seattle side, because we missed the earlier ferry and the sun is setting. We were already postponing the last since it's all the way out in Issaquah. Those will have to wait for another day.
