The “Umbrella Man” Statue
This statue is called “Allow Me” and was created by J. Seward Johnson. It sits in Pioneer Square near the Max station. Locals simply call it the “Umbrella Man.” As in, “Meet me at 6 by the Umbrella Man.”
It apparently has siblings though, one in Philadelphia on Broad and 15th, and another somewhere in New England with an yet to be determined location.
