Sculptor Richard Beyer's (1925-2012) "People Waiting for the Interurban," one of the most popular works of art in Seattle, was commissioned by the Fremont Arts Council and dedicated in 1978. It is located on the southeast corner of N. 34th Street and Fremont Avenue N., and depicts six people and a dog waiting for the Seattle to Everett Interurban, a public transportation service that ended in 1939.

This image of the sculpture and an added snowman was taken during a January cold snap. It is common for locals to dress the individuals in themed or event-related attire. History House of Greater Seattle, a historical museum located across the street from the sculpture, has exhibits showing some of the most imaginative displays by people who have decorated the statues over the years.
