This particular Arboretum is frequently called “the best-kept secret in West Seattle.” It’s become a preferred venue for weddings and parties alike. But it is also a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle—just you and nature in a beautiful, serene setting. Some of the most popular areas of the Arboretum are the entry garden (lined with exposed aggregate pathways and large grassy patches), the sensory garden and the reflection pool area (with tranquil rock fountain and beautiful gold fish). The gazebo features a exquisite view of the downtown Seattle skyline on a sunny day. And don’t miss the Seattle Chinese Garden that borders the Arboretum.
