Together again

Seattle Parks has announced that the restoration of the landmarked Hat ‘n’ Boots will be completed the first week of November. 

The Hat ‘n’ Boots, located in Oxbow Park at 6400 Corson Ave. S., were moved from their former location at the "Premium Tex" Texaco gas station on E. Marginal Way to Oxbow Park in December 2003.  

The boots had already been restored, and repainted in the original colors and design when the Pro Parks Levy funded Oxbow Park first opened in 2005. Parks started restoring the Hat in the summer of 2009. The scaffolding and tent that have surrounded the structure for months during construction will be removed tomorrow and the final coats of paint will be applied when weather permits.
