Skateboarding Meca

This was a self-assigned photo essay that I produced for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
In 2004 local skateboarders faced with the closure of their favorite skate parks began the task of building a DIY park located on a section of abandon city land below the roadway of the Seattle viaduct.
Today The Marginal Way Skate Park has become the premiere skate park in the Northwest and the Mecca for skaters and visitors from around the world.
