- How the sculpture park came to be

The Olympic Sculpture Park used to be an industrial site that was occupied by a gas and oil corporation - Unocal. It then became a polluted and tainted brownfield and after sometime SAM decided to transform it into a green space.

- Who made it possible

Thanks to many donations from big sponsors the Olympic Sculpture Park became alive in downtown Seattle. One of its biggest donors, Mary and Jon Shirley, former Microsoft CEO and Chairman of SAM board of directors, gave a gift of thirty million dollars to for the development of the park.
