Everett's waterfront installations depict leaping salmon, crashing waves and a frozen fountain in light, extending along the esplanade and over to the Mukilteo waterfront. A new lit orca sculpture joins the Mukilteo shoreline this season, and the displays stay up well past the holidays into mid-February.
