Public art at Seattle Fire Department Station 9: https://seattlearts.emuseum.com/objects/2839/nine-lives "Nine Lives", a black cat ever ready to rescue those in its district from fire, a riff on the Eveready Batteries 9-Lives cat. Under the cat is ANOTHER public artwork, the dot codes punched out by the historic block by block fire alarms, run by clockwork-driven telegraph signals. When the alarm is pulled, the spring unwinds, and the dot code is sent to the fire station.
