OLYMPIA, WA — In a quiet suburban neighborhood, an aging flower child has taken a bold step to make a profound statement. Marsha “Wild Flower” Evans, a self-proclaimed old hippie, has recently adorned the home with a massive, fully lit peace sign that some are speculating can be seen from space. This eccentric display is more than just a decoration; it’s a plea for unity and love in a world that seems increasingly divided.
Evans, now in her 70s, is a relic of the counterculture movement that swept the nation in the 1960s. With her tie-dye shirts and a collection of vinyl records, she’s kept these ideals and principles over the decades. “Peace, love, and understanding. That’s what it’s all about.”
The giant peace sign, which measures a staggering 30 feet in diameter, has become a local attraction and a topic of both admiration and curiosity.
The oversized peace sign can be seen from miles away and serves as a beacon of hope in a world that sometimes seems to have lost its way. Evan’s message is simple but powerful: “Is up to us to make this world a better place for the next generation.” She hopes that her iconic display will inspire others to reflect on the values of peace and unity.
