Duvall Artist Breathes New Life Into Iconic Bridge Trolls

Snoqualmie, WALocal News

Randy Berg has successfully revitalized the iconic trolls on the Duvall Bridge, which have become symbolic guardians of the town. This project, which took place during a six-week road closure, was a labor of love, bringing together community members and local government support. Berg's connection to the trolls dates back to her childhood, where she first encountered them as a student involved in their repainting. The restoration involved replacing weathered plywood and applying vibrant paint, allowing the trolls to shine anew. Mayor Amy Ockerlander expressed gratitude for the collaborative efforts that enhance Duvall's artistic landscape.

Additionally, the city is seeing an influx of new public artworks, making it a vibrant destination for art lovers. Berg's work not only preserves a piece of local history but also inspires future artistic endeavors in the community. The trolls now stand proudly on the bridge, inviting all who pass by to appreciate their renewed charm.
