Seattle-Tacoma Airport Washington adventures begin as you land at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport. Seattle is the gateway to The Evergreen State. It is rightly called The Evergreen State, as it is one of the greenest places on earth. Of course, with all that green, comes the rain. Always carry an umbrella in Western Washington. You just don't know when it can hit. But all that rain has made it one of the prettiest places to visit in the United States of America. The flowers are just spectacular, and the Rhododendrons are some of the world's largest. They are in several colors and are magnificent! Disclaimer: There are a few places still closed in the airport and one of the main restaurants should be open back soon after the renovation is complete.

It has always provided tranquility and extreme natural beauty. The State Reserve has 150 acres with natural woodlands and second-growth trees.

Bloedel Reserve Highline Seatac Botanical Garden This gorgeous urban garden is an amazing accomplishment of the city of Seatac.

This garden was reclaimed from a neglected urban field and now is a garden showplace that is still growing and expanding yearly.

This mini garden features a spacious central plaza, a unique rain garden, and numerous raised beds, especially for seniors. One of my favorite areas is the collections of blue and purple flowers. What an amazing display! These are all native flowers that grow especially well in Washington and the varieties seem endless. There are several paths with tunnels of beautiful native vines.

The Puget Sound Day Lily Club is especially focused on the older and heritage varieties of the daylilies. Their focus is those that grow the best in the unique climate of Puget Sound. This is perhaps one of the largest collections anywhere of this beautiful garden favorite. The King County Iris Society was the very first garden in this astonishing collection of gardens. The iris is another flower that is extremely well suited to the climate and the varieties are almost endless. In this garden, you will find the newer varieties as well as the older heritage favorites. The original garden included a wide selection of all classes of bearded iris. There were mini dwarfs, dwarfs, intermediates, miniature tall, tall, those that are for borders, and those that are historic. The garden has since been expanded to include many of the beardless varieties as well. If you are a lover of the iris, this is one of the best iris gardens in the Pacific Northwest. The Seike Japanese Garden is another one of the Pacific Northwest's treasures. This priceless and unique Japanese Garden can be found just down the hill. The Seike Japanese Garden was previously located in the Des Moines Way Nursery. Due to its nearness to the airport, it was in danger of being sold and lost to the community. This amazing garden was saved by four different local city governments together with the Highline Botanical Garden Foundation. This project to save the garden is believed to be the largest outside of Japan. It is the largest project to be moved in the United States. This garden has the many unique varieties of plants common in a Japanese garden. There are beautiful walking paths and it is adorned with many Japanese garden ornaments. The last of the completed gardens is Elda Behm’s Paradise Garden. This is a beautiful symbolic re-creation of Elda Behm’s original Paradise Garden which was condemned to allow for the construction of the Port of Seattle's third runway at the Seatac Airport. This traditional garden is located at the entrance to the Highline Seatac Botanical Garden. It is one of the garden jewels of Western Washington.
