Join us for a 90-minute walking tour of Seattle’s newest and boldest urban park, led by Richard Hartlage of Land Morphology, which provided planting design services for this expansive project. The park skims along Elliott Bay, spanning 20 acres and 26 blocks, and features 500 plant varieties and nearly 800 trees. Each planting zone tells a unique story rooted in local history and ecology and exemplifies how thoughtful planting design creates spaces that connect the community with nature, enhance biodiversity, and serve as models for sustainable urban development. Overlook Walk is populated with species native to Puget Sound’s coastal bluffs, and provide valuable shade, habitat and stormwater filtration. The Aquarium Rooftop’s native meadow landscape was designed with guidance from traditional ecological knowledge-keeper Valerie Segrest, an enrolled member of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe.
