Turns out most people like these better as yard art than table lamps.

Back in 1940, George and Theadora Plumis bought this plot of land as their first home. Their children later sold the plot to private individuals, but the parkland was purchased with the Conservation Futures Tax funds through the Seattle Open Space program and created an urban forest plan to include many native plants, a nature trail, a natural play area, a stair climb, and natural elements to be incorporated into the park grounds.

This tiny neighborhood park demonstrates that even in a small space you can do quite a bit. Intricate railings adorned with metallic flowers beckon you up the small flight of stairs. Designed and built by former Groundswell president and founding board member Chuck Nafziger, these railings pay tribute to late board member and P-Patch advocate Greg Edeen, with his signature tam o’shanter hat tucked into the top left railing. Continue back past the “front porch” area, maintained by the King County Master Gardeners, to arrive at a small P-Patch of about twelve plots. Much like Groundswell, this park thrives under the steadfast support of its surrounding community. Simply look back at the project’s origin for further proof: A local neighbor had originally bought this plot because he wanted a vacant lot for his kids to play in, just like he had as a child. His children had since grown up and moved away when Groundswell identified it as a potential pocket park in 1996, so he was a willing seller when approached, and other neighbors joined together to plan and build the new park.

Gemenskap Park, a two-block stretch of green space in East Ballard, runs along 14th Ave NW, between NW 59th St and NW 61st St. Its grassy lawns, multi-use path, creative seating, mature trees, green stormwater infrastructure, and safety improvements make it an important gathering place for the community, inspiring the name - “gemenskap” means “community” in Swedish. Gemenskap Park opened in 2018 after a years-long effort by community members to replace a median and row of parking with a park. The East Ballard Community Association, nearby neighbors, and local businesses led the visioning effort to create a park. The community’s long-term vision sees it stretching from NW 65th St to Salmon Bay.

The corner of 23rd and Union Street has a long history in the Seattle. Due to redlining, the Central Area was one of the few areas African Americans were provided loans to own homes. This corner was one of the last places in the Central Area with a high concentration of Black-owned businesses and served an important role both commercially and socially. In the development of these blocks, Vivian Phillips, long-time Seattle resident and artist advocate, was instrumental in preserving a space to honor the history, celebrate the people, and maintain a space that centers Blackness that all can call home. Several area artists were commissioned to create works to invoke conversation, keep memories alive, and spur creativity and innovation through arts into the future.
