Washington Park Arboretum
Seattle, Washington
The
Washington Park Arboretum is now one of several sites
within the University of Washington Botanic Gardens.
However, it is so much better established than the other
sites, I still think of it as a separate entity. This 230
acre arboretum was founded in 1936. It was designed by the
Olmstead Brothers landscape architecture firm and built by
the WPA. Today the plant collection consists of more than
4,600 species. Major collections include hollies, maples,
mountain ash and conifers.
