"As a “landscape for art”, the Olympic Sculpture Park defines a new
experience for modern and contemporary art outside the museum walls. The
topographically varied park provides diverse settings for sculpture of
multiple scales. Deliberately open-ended, the design invites new
interpretations of art and environmental engagement, reconnecting the
fractured relationships of art, landscape, and urban life.pe, and urban
life."

"In 1998, TPL, in partnership with the Seattle Art Museum (SAM), stepped
in to purchase the last undeveloped piece of downtown Seattle, a
7.3-acre former oil tank farm zoned for development as hotels and
condominiums. TPL and SAM proposed a very different plan: redeveloping
the site as a park that would showcase great art and outdoor
conservation, and effectively double the amount of open space in
Belltown, the city's densest and fastest-growing neighborhood."

Yes, the beach is part of the sculpture park.
Your picture of the eagle reminds me of Calder's sculpture on the bank of the Weser river in Bremen, Germany. It has the same colors, but all part are moving in the breeze, wind, storm...
