Highline rocks your socks off with socks and rocks

In a tradition practiced since the days humanity spent its time in caves, Highline community members gathered to paint rocks on Tuesday outside Building 8. However, unlike the cavefolk, Highline people got 60th anniversary socks, courtesy of the Highline Foundation. 

Artists were encouraged to either take their rocks home or hide them in their communities for others to find and enjoy. Hiding painted rocks has become a popular community activity, with multiple Facebook community pages being formed to help spread the fun. Artists paint and hide rocks, hoping for strangers to find and appreciate their work.

Finished rocks dry in the afternoon sun.
