Mosaic grotto.

Water Treatment Plant Grotto

A very detailed stone and marble mosaic grotto designed by an artist. Part of the Waterworks Park in Renton WA. Built by King Co. Water treatment plant.

[Michael Anway, 12/15/2008]

Open since 1996, there's also a bit of a monolith/henge arrangement. The beautiful public sculptures are artfully dappled among algae-covered ponds filtering stormwater.
