Join NHS for a walking tour of the Seattle Waterfront, a living landscape and charismatic green space designed for people, plants, and wildlife. The tour is led by Richard Hartlage and Page Crutcher of Land Morphology, the Seattle-based landscape design firm that created the planting plan for the project. Seattle’s newest urban park spans 26 blocks, from Belltown to the stadiums. Grand promenades and flexible spaces for social gatherings and live performances are complemented by intimate landscapes with pathways designed for strolling. Street trees, raised planters, and planting beds filled with ornamental and native plants provide color, texture, and form in every season. Environmentally friendly biofiltration principles are integrated, including contoured beds that capture and diffuse rainfall, allowing plant roots to filter and cleanse runoff before it enters Elliott Bay.
