The Seattle parks department has not in the past seen a reason to leap to cover up and/or remove unauthorized structures that have appeared in its parks. The Monolith (2001) [1] comes to mind. Note that it was not covered or dismantled by the authorities, it was simply stolen. There have been other cases [2] where the city has been downright laid-back about such things, even supportive in a nod-and-a-wink sort of way. Yes indeed, it would be an honor to have this statue here in Washington state. The Fremont Lenin [3] statue has been for sale on and off over the years, the last time priced at $250K. If I could scrape together a spare $1/4M I'd be tempted to buy it and put it on my front lawn.
