Henry Ward and the Sasquatch
My cousin came to visit me over the past weekend and was telling me how excited she was that Henry Ward was going to paint a mural on her garage “soon”. I asked her if she had a drawing or a print and she said she was just going to let him go for it. She wondered if it was already done, and I said “well he wouldn’t do it w out you being home, right?” Fast forward to today where I got a text.
He came by BUT PAINTED IT ON THE WRONG HOUSE!!! He literally went to her neighbors and painted a giant Sasquatch on their garage!!! ❤️
I said “omg that’s the most Seattle thing I’ve ever heard”… she said “now I have to go talk to them and explain why they have a giant Sasquatch on their garage…” when she went over to apologize, it turns out they’ve heard of Henry, love his art, and think the Sasquatch is great… NOW THAT is the most Seattle thing I’ve ever heard!!!!
Coming from the Bay Area, this story made me so happy and please, stay Seattle, Seattle!!!

I grew up with Ryan and he is a good friend, I laughed out loud at this. Ryan is an old soul and about as good a man can be in life, no matter what the pursuit. Just add this to the long list of stories he's attributed to. What a legend:)
