Washington Park and Arboretum

Introduction

Washington Park and Arboretum sits on the south shore of Seattle's Lake Union, covering about 93 hectares and jointly managed by the University of Washington and the City of Seattle. It is one of the Pacific Northwest's most important living plant collections and research institutions, with more than twenty thousand species from around the world organized by geography and habitat into zones such as the Japanese Garden, alpine area, conifer loop and wetland trail. The Japanese Garden is Seattle's signature Zen landscape, drawing photographers for spring cherry blossoms, autumn maples and year-round koi ponds. The Pacific Connections Garden showcases rare plants from around the Pacific Rim, making the arboretum a living classroom of global plant diversity.
