BBQ owner, city divided over mural of nude pigs

December 30, 2004

SNOHOMISH — A mural of pink pigs painted on the side of a barbecue restaurant is apparently too spicy for officials in this city’s historic district.

The city has denied a permit to Janelle and Steve Carpenter, owners of the BBQ Shack, and the painting has remained veiled behind a white tarp since the restaurant opened last week.

The mural features five pink pigs on a white concrete wall, unwilling participants in meal preparation. One is ready to be grilled as another attempts escape in a hot air balloon. The remaining three appear to be to enticing drivers to stop.
