Washington Park
Seattle’s verdant embrace is nowhere more enchanting than in the heart of the city’s Washington Park Arboretum. Nestled within the embrace of Lake Washington, this botanical haven is not merely a collection of trees; it’s a living symphony of nature’s finest melodies.
Originally known as the Seattle Arboretum, this park would eventually be the final creation of Olmsted Brothers in Seattle. While some parts were cleared for interior vistas, Olmsted Brothers’ design for Washington Park Arboretum ensured that certain portions would be left for natural growth.
