Heritage Urban Woodland
Realize the vision of thoughtful land stewardship. Born out of Assistant City Engineer George Cotterill’s 1890s plan for a 25-mile system of bicycle paths around the nascent city, 51.7-acre Interlaken Park, a ribbon of hills and ravines on Capitol Hill’s north slope, took shape in the first blueprint that John Charles Olmsted presented to Seattle in 1903.
Recreate in restorative green space. Hikers, bikers and joggers have long benefited from the peace and privacy of this wildest of Seattle’s Olmsted parks. Barred owls and Cooper’s hawks can be spotted among the 140 tree species that flourish here. Spring wildflowers, including bleeding heart, wild ginger and enchanter’s nightshade, offer a feast for the senses. Magical Interlaken is also home to Seattle’s tallest redwood tree (184 ft in 2018), in a grove of redwoods planted 100 years ago. These trees thrive in the damp coastal climates of Oregon and California; their healthy growth in a dry site has flummoxed arborists.
Seamlessly Connected
Enjoy private parklike living connected to the city., With the hiking and biking trails of Interlaken Park out your back door, Montlake playfields out the front door, and 230-acre Washington Park Arboretum just blocks away—including its renowned Japanese Garden, Rhododendron Glen and playfields—your yard is simply an extension of these incredible parks.
When it’s time to depart your park-ensconced property—for work, school, appointments, coffee, shopping, and nights on the town—easily connect with the dynamic Capitol Hill neighborhood, Seattle and the Eastside. Enjoy a swift commute to major technology companies and proximity to the city’s best restaurants, bars and more.
