This ummm… sculpture? It is a weather beacon located in Pioneer Square.
How is works is this: every day at noon a trumpet sounds, lights flash, and mist sprays, Then one of three symbols comes out based on the weather forecast. The symbol stays out untill the next day.
The symbols and their meanings are;
a sun for good weather.
A for light rain, clouds etc.
A dragon for heavy rain or storms
Fun Fact: the Statue debuted live on the Today show with Willard Scott anouncing in 1988.
