As part of the Sound Transit Federal Way Link Extension project artist Donald Lipski created a larger than life lamp for the new Downtown Federal Way station in Washington. The sculpture entitled Leafy Wader, is a nod to the Puget Sound area as the center of the Glass Art movement in the USA. Lipski has been an Artist in Residence at both Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, WA, and the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA. The title Leafy Wader is an anagram of Federal Way.
