The Highline Botanical Garden, located at 13735 24th Avenue South, SeaTac, Washington, is a 10.5-acre community botanical garden that is open to the public daily without any charge. This makes it an accessible and affordable destination for tourists and locals alike.
Features of the Paradise Garden
One of the highlights of the Highline Botanical Garden is the Paradise Garden. This garden features a 120-foot stream that flows into a 7,000-gallon pond, a rustic log pergola, and a variety of trees, shrubs, and perennials. The peak of the blooming season is around Mother's Day, but the Paradise Garden remains interesting throughout the year.
Relocation of the Seike Japanese Garden
In the winter and spring of 2006, the City of SeaTac and the State of Washington funded the relocation of the historic Seike Japanese Garden to the Highline Botanical Garden site. The Seike Garden, which was built in 1961 as a war memorial, was designed by Shintaro Okada of Hiroshima. Over $350,000 was spent on relocating the garden's bridges, massive stones, and hand-candled pines. The Seike Garden was re-dedicated in June 2006, adding another layer of historical and cultural significance to the Highline Botanical Garden.
