'Bigfoot Is Probably Real' - Renton History Museum

Cryptozoological reconstruction artist Eugene Parnell, of the greater Seattle area, has brought his work to the Renton History Museum for the exhibit .

Parnell explores the enduring mythical creature through interactive displays where museum visitors can try to replicate Sasquatch tracks, share their own personal accounts of Bigfoot encounters, ask questions and make their own artistic rendering of the hulking creature.

“We wanted to make this pretty interactive,” said Collections Manager Sarah Samson.
