Seattle’s small Statue of Liberty replica at Alki Beach Park links a national symbol with one of the city’s founding stories, standing near the Denny Party’s landing place where settlers first camped before moving to future downtown Seattle. Donated in 1952 by the Boy Scouts of America, it also occupied a site long tied to civic ambitions. Repeated vandalism damaged the original stamped-copper figure, prompting repairs and eventually a bronze recasting after 2004. Removed in 2006 and reinstalled in 2007, it later gained a new plaza and pedestal. The replica has also served as a memorial and protest backdrop, becoming a layered local landmark.
