SUMMARY:Bus Tour: Historic Olmsted Parks of West Seattle with Academy for Lifelong Learning Resources
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, June 4\, 2026\, from 7:45 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.\nCost: Western Washington’s Academy for Lifelong Learning Resources members: $120; Non-members: $150\nAdditional personal expenses: Lunch and any personal purchases\nRegistration deadline: Monday\, May 4\, 2026\nTour Leaders: Sue Nicol and Jennifer Ott \nDue to the tremendous response of our Seattle Olmsted Park excursion last year\, this June we continue our visit to Olmsted-designed parks on Seattle’s west side. \nWhen John Charles Olmsted first arrived in Seattle in 1903\, he was struck by the city’s “extraordinary landscape advantages.” In West Seattle he aimed to preserve\, for the public\, an old-growth forest park\, active playfields\, and ample views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Olmsted’s original 1903 plan focused on the central and east parts of the City. After West Seattle and other neighborhoods were annexed to the City in 1907\, the Olmsteds were hired back to create a supplemental parks and boulevard plan for those neighborhoods. \nOur journey this year includes: \n\nLongfellow Creek Legacy Trail: We’ll walk the path along Longfellow Creek as it weaves through a lush ravine past a beaver colony.\nDelridge and Hiawatha Playfields: These Olmsted-designed playfields were among the first active sports fields west of the Mississippi. Both were designed between 1910 and 1912.\nSchmitz Park and Boulevard: Donated to the City by Ferdinand Schmitz to preserve its old-growth forest\, this park was intentionally left “wild” to protect one of Seattle’s last stands of old-growth forest.\nAlki Beach Park: Lunch is at a restaurant of your choice on Alki Avenue SW. The Olmsted Brothers helped secure this waterfront park\, with fabulous views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains for public use.\nRose Garden and the Woodland Park Zoo: The roses should be in full bloom at the Woodland Park Rose Garden\, a 2.5-acre formal garden at the south entrance of the zoo. This rose garden opened in 1924 and is home to nearly 3\,000 roses and a sensory garden. In 1910\, the Olmsteds designed the zoo grounds. They placed small animal exhibits in what’s now the War Garden\, now outside the zoo grounds just west of the Rose Garden. This tour doesn’t enter the zoo.\nEB Dunn Gardens: This is the only PNW private residential garden designed by the Olmsted brothers that is open to the public. We end our day with a docent-led tour of this beautiful residential estate.\n\nEMAIL TO JOIN IN SEATTLE \nNote: This tour entails a series of walks\, at times on uneven ground\, totaling 1.5 miles.

SUMMARY:Pop-Up Seattle - Dunn Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Join the Olmsted Network for tour and lunch at the historic Dunn Gardens in Seattle\, WA. \nWe’ll explore the magnificent grounds together— with history and horticulture experts leading the way— before gathering for a boxed lunch and conversation. Attendees are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes. All are welcome to stay at the gardens until close at 4 pm PT. \nThis very special garden— just north of Seattle— was originally part of the country estate of Arthur and Jeannette Dunn. \nWhile the Olmsted Brothers firm was working on public projects in Seattle\, many wealthy Seattle business owners hired the well-known firm to design landscapes on their private estates. In 1914\, salmon cannery owner Arthur G. Dunn and his wife Jeanette purchased ten acres of land north of Seattle\, planning to create a summer home. The following year the Dunns hired the Olmsted Brothers firm to locate a cottage and develop a landscape plan to surround their future summer home. The Estate and gardens were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. \nSpace is limited. Please register before the June 7 deadline. \nThis experience is part of a new and exciting travel opportunity! In 2024\, the Olmsted Network is hosting exclusive “pop-up” trips in the Olmsted-rich cities of Seattle (June 21)\, Staten Island (July 19-20) and Buffalo (Oct 30- Nov 1). \nThese short trips will allow our partners and friends the chance to meet like-minded travelers and explore Olmsted parks and places like never before— with expert guides leading the way!

SUMMARY:Olmsted in Seattle Book Talk at CUH
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by historian Jennifer Ott about stories she uncovered in her research for Olmsted in Seattle. \nIn the midst of galloping growth at the turn of the 20th century\, Seattle’s city leaders seized on the confluence of a roaring economy with the City Beautiful movement to hire the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm to design a park and parkway system. Their 1903 plan led to a supplemental plan\, a playground plan\, numerous park and boulevard designs\, changes to park system management\, and a ripple effect\, as the Olmsted Brothers were hired to design public and private landscapes throughout the region. The park system shaped Seattle’s character and continues to play a key role in the city’s livability today. \n  \nDue to the November 16 book launch date\, books may not be available for purchase at this event. \n  \nThe event is free\, with a suggested $5 donation to support UW Botanic Gardens public education programs.
