Located on the northwest side of Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, Streissguth Gardens is an urban oasis. A small, family-maintained garden on a steep hillside, this little-known gem in the middle of bustling Seattle offers amazing views of Lake Union, downtown Seattle, and Olympic Mountains.
Developed gradually over the course of more than forty years, the gardens have grown from a tangled hillside to approximately one acre of cultivated woodland and perennial beds. The Streissguth family maintain these public gardens for their new owner, the Seattle Parks and Recreation. The gardens are publicly owned and open to visitors year-round — free of charge.
