EXPERIENCE
MAGNUSON PARK Learn ✽ Play ✽ Explore ✽ Grow In the folk story “Stone Soup,” a group of travelers come to a village with an empty cooking pot. They approach a river and fill the pot with stones and place it over a fire. One by one, the villagers inquire about what they are making. The travelers say they are making a special meal called stone soup and could use a few additional items to make it complete. One by one, the villagers provide small amounts of vegetables and garnishes creating a nutritious, satisfying meal enjoyed by everyone. The tenants, stakeholders, and patrons of Magnuson Park create stone soup every day through collaboration and a common love of the park. Magnuson Park attracts diverse groups of people with varying interests that come together with a common value of maximizing the potential of the park. I feel fortunate to come to work every day and engage with this community. Brian Judd Manager, Warren G Magnuson Park & Park Activation Seattle Parks and Recreation Brian.judd@seattle.gov
