Straight Shot is a 2007 public art work at the Sand Point calibration baseline in Magnuson Park, Seattle. It was created by Seattle artist Perri Lynch, and funded by the City of Seattle's 1% for Art program,[1]Trimble and the Washington Surveyors Association. The baseline at Sand Point predates the development of Magnuson Park, and was originally at the western edge of the Navy's Naval Air Station Seattle runway at the location.[2] The artwork was created in part to illustrate the importance of the baseline to surveyors and to preserve the baseline – "in peril of being destroyed"[3] – as a part of the park.[4][5] The work has been nicknamed "Linehenge" by surveyors.[6]
