Tacoma Octopus Tee – “The Watcher of the Sound”
Art by Gail Ringrose | Republic of 253 Limited Series
They say she watches from the deep. Beneath the Narrows Bridge, where the tides collide and the shadows stretch long, lives the Giant Pacific Octopus — the largest and most intelligent of her kind. With arms spanning over 15 feet and a brain built for problem-solving, she’s more than a legend — she’s Tacoma’s deepwater guardian.
Early divers and dockhands spoke of sightings — an enormous creature gliding silently along the sea floor, eyes aglow like lanterns in the dark. Some say she’s been there since the bridge was first built, adapting, outsmarting, and observing.
This tee features original artwork by Gail Ringrose, whose pen captured the creature’s fluid motion, alien beauty, and mythic presence. Every line evokes the mystery of the Puget Sound and the quiet power of what lurks beneath.
Printed in Tacoma. Rooted in Pacific Northwest folklore.
Available in:
Bone Vintage White | Deepwater Black | Pacific Mist Gray
Unisex S–XXL
Soft-washed 100% cotton or eco tri-blend
