Frigid temperatures in the region have taken their toll on the fountain at Frost Park in downtown Tacoma. On Thursday morning, Tacoma Daily Index editor Todd Matthews shot this photograph of the park’s typically-cascading waterfall now locked in ice due to low temperatures dipping into the teens overnight this week.
The City-owned park, located at the corner of South Ninth Street and Pacific Avenue, is named after fallen Tacoma police officer Larry Frost, who was 29 years old when he was shot and killed on Sept. 9, 1977. In recent years, a group of local artists has gathered on Fridays at noon for friendly chalk art competitions.
