Art in Washington

Today I sit in East Wenatchee, Washington. Yesterday I had an opportunity to drive down a major avenue in town. I saw an awesome thing! There is a museum located in two buildings that look as if they could have been government buildings at one time. On the steps of one there sat a man-sized, brushed metal sculpture. It was a dog, dressed in a suit and reading a book. I wonder if the building might have once been a Carnegie library? I didn't get a good look at the building to see if there was a sign--I was too enthraLled with the reader!
Another building, several blocks down, had a 1950's red-and-white car butt sticking out of the roof! I could love this town! So much character and bits of joie de vie exists despite the depressed economy.
