State repairing Olympia WWII memorial

OLYMPIA, Wash. —

The state is moving ahead with repairs on the World War II Memorial at the Capitol in Olympia, despite the artist's attempt to stop the work.

Simon Kogan of Olympia alleges in a lawsuit that the Department of General Administration violated terms of the contract commissioning the artwork. He claims it was damaged in a 2007 power washing.

Department representatives told The Olympian the power-washing did not damage the memorial.

Last week, a Thurston County Superior Court judge rejected Kogan’s request for a restraining order to prevent the agency from installing a drainage system.

The bronze and granite memorial features a cluster of blades and a wheat field to commemorate those who died during World War II.
