Members of Chehalis city government and Experience Chehalis celebrated the new Discover Lewis County Mural during an event marking its completion in Chehalis on Thursday, Oct. 30.
“Experience Chehalis is proud to celebrate 'Discover Lewis County,' the newest addition to our city’s growing public art collection!” the nonprofit Experience Chehalis organization wrote online. “Located on the historic former Star Tavern building at 242 NW Chehalis Avenue, this vibrant mural celebrates the spirit and beauty of Lewis County. The project began as an initiative of Lewis County, which commissioned the original artwork by regional artist Paul Lanquist. Experience Chehalis brought the piece to life in downtown Chehalis, engaging local sign painter Joe Beck to hand-paint the mural with incredible craftsmanship and care.”
