Odd Ones
Written By rambling seattle

This one goes through Seattle’s Washington Park Arboretum, known simply at The Arboretum. It is a city park and the city maintains the trails and such, but the University of Washington’s Botany Department deals with all the flora. Together they put on a pretty nice display. There is a visitor’s center and events happening here all the time and is a great place to visit no matter the season. Enjoy!
