Explosion of autumn colours
Seattle may be the Emerald City, but as the leaves change in autumn, the green bursts into vibrantly hued foliage. At Washington Park Arboretum, highlights include the show-stopping Japanese maple collection in the Woodland Garden and the Japanese Garden. Bike, walk, or drive along Olmsted-designed Lake Washington Boulevard for a stunning view of this alluring park. In Rainier Beach, Kubota Garden’s winding pathways with a mix of gravel, stepping stones, and bridges, pass by ponds and waterfalls, providing different perspectives on the changing foliage throughout.
