The UW students in Professor Winterbottom’s Landscape Architecture Design/Build Class have been hard at work installing the new public shoreline park we gave you a sneak peek to back in March. They’re putting the final touches on the project right now and have invited the community to come celebrate at their dedication and potluck Thursday June 11, 3:30PM-5:00PM, which will be on site at the 11th Ave NW street end (just follow 11th Ave NW south across Leary and continue walking until you hit the water). It’s a beautiful hidden little spot and the perfect place to get a little connection to nature when taking a walk or ride along the Burke Gilman or stopping in to shop at the Fred Meyer.

If you want to get your hands dirty, (PLANTING HAS BEEN POSTPONED, WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED) they’ll be planting all day Tuesday June 9 from 8AM-5PM and would love to have the community drop in during the day to help. Note that the planting date is subject to plant delivery, so it might change to Wednesday. We’ll keep you posted!
