The Lee Arts Foundation (LAF) played a big role in The Lee Arts Foundation (LAF) played a big role in designing details along Tolt Avenue. Named after former mayor Lee Grumman, who passed away in 2018 after a battle with cancer, LAF’s goal is to help Lee’s passion for the arts live on.

LAF members, like cofounder Jules Hughes, volunteered time and expertise to work on public art and unique elements along Tolt Avenue. LAF worked with Tolt Historical Society and the Snoqualmie Tribe to imbue project elements with the history, art, and culture of Carnation.

One of their biggest contributions was fifteen historical files located along the street. Each tile depicts a moment in time that relates to its modern-day location. 

At an event last fall, community members toured Tolt Avenue and learned about the significance of each tile.

Picture descriptions:
1. Community members viewing a photo tile of a 1950 4th of July parade.
2. The parade tile.
3. Community members viewing a historic postcard tile showing Tolt Avenue in 1914.
4. A closeup of the postcard tile.
5. Lee Grumman’s photo on top of the piano at Miller’s.
