In Focus: Yard Bird Statue Finds New Home at Lewis County Historical Museum

A Yard Bird statue stands in its new home outside the Lewis County Historical Museum in Chehalis on Tuesday. The local icon was moved from Yard Birds Mall to the museum Monday morning after the museum acquired it from a private owner. “We are very honored to be the new home of this wonderful and iconic piece of local history,” the museum wrote on Facebook. “ We’ll be giving him a full restoration as soon as possible, so keep an eye out for updates.” Yard Birds has faced upheaval this year as the City of Chehalis at one point ruled the building was not habitable. The city lifted condemnation notices this week after improvements made by the owner.
