The statue was dedicated on Flag Day, June 14, 1909, during the Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition. Its permanent 24-foot (7.3 m) pedestal was built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and installed in August 1938. The pedestal had been designed by Taft in 1908 but was not funded in time for the exposition.Located a short distance west of Red Square, the statue faces west, toward The Brothers of the Olympic Mountains.
