"Ascent" by Larry Anderson Larry Anderson, a nationally renowned sculptor, has lived for eight years in Lake Bonney on land he bought from Simmons, the late mayor. Anderson created the sculpture that welcomes visitors to Bonney Lake, a boy reaching up to a flock of ducks. The sculpture, called "The Ascent," is an attempt to make people aware of the area's natural beauty as they make their way from the Sumner Valley up to Mount Rainier. It represents "ascending to a higher plane of existence, enabling of the spirit," Anderson says.
