ROQ LA RUE
GALLERY
cently relocated from Belltown, has secured its reputation by taking risks: the work on
view here skates along the edge of urban pop-culture. Since opening in 1998, the gal-
lery, which is owned and curated by Kirsten Anderson, has been a significant force in
the pop surrealism field, and is frequently featured in
Juxtapoz
magazine.
MILEPOST 31
MUSEUM
(211 1st Ave S; 11am-5pm Tue-Sat; Pioneer Sq)
F
A project as comprehensive
and long-winded as the Alaskan Viaduct Replacement Program requires an explanatory
museum, and this small but concise exhibit in Pioneer Square does a fine of job of re-
laying the facts - plus there are some fascinating nuggets of incidental Seattle history
thrown in for good measure. Numerous old photos and a scale model of the drilling ma-
chine encourage lingering.
The exhibit will remain open as long as the program lasts - until 2016 at least.

The famed Foster/White Gallery, which opened in 1968,
features glassworks, paintings and sculpture by mainstream Northwest artists in a beau-
tifully renovated 7000-sq-ft space. Some of the exhibits are for sale (if you're rich), but
realistically, if you're from hoi polloi, this is more a contemporary art gallery - and a
fine one too - that deserves half an hour of quiet contemplation.

Riot-control gear, uniforms, a jail cell…welcome to the
police museum, apparently the largest of its kind on the West Coast. Varied exhibits set
out to 'demystify' the police force. There's an interactive play area for kids.
