Discover what it’s like to live next to one of Seattle’s most beautiful natural landmarks—the Washington Park Arboretum. In this episode of Selling Seattle with Kyle Moore, we explore the Arboretum during the fall season, when vibrant colors, rich textures, and diverse plant life create a truly immersive experience just minutes from the city.
Spanning 235 acres, the Washington Park Arboretum is home to more than 40,000 plant species and serves as a vital green space in the heart of Seattle. Once a former logging site, the land evolved into Washington Park in the early 1900s before officially becoming an arboretum in 1935. Today, it features everything from an ecological forest and Japanese Garden to waterfront trails and wildlife habitats, all supported by a dedicated community of volunteers who help maintain and guide visitors through the park.
This video also highlights what makes living near the Arboretum so desirable. Located in the Montlake neighborhood, residents enjoy a rare balance of urban convenience and natural beauty, with easy access to the University of Washington, Capitol Hill, and downtown Seattle. The area’s artistic, park-adjacent atmosphere offers a unique lifestyle that feels both peaceful and connected.
Featured in the video is a charming 1939 Art Deco home near the Arboretum, showcasing classic craftsmanship alongside modern upgrades. With spacious bedrooms, original hardwood floors, a plaster fireplace, air conditioning, a remodeled kitchen, and a private backyard on a 6,600+ square foot lot, the property exemplifies the timeless appeal of homes in this sought-after neighborhood.
Whether you’re interested in Seattle neighborhoods, historic homes, or living close to nature, this video provides an inside look at why the Washington Park Arboretum and Montlake remain some of Seattle’s most desirable places to live.
