The Seattle Garden of Remembrance is a memorial dedicated to honoring Washington State residents who gave their lives in overseas service, from World War II to present-day. Dedicated in 1998 in downtown Seattle, the Garden offers an urban oasis of beauty and reflection.

“The Garden’s purpose is not to be a place to grieve or mourn. It is meant to be a place of renewal, of peace, and of celebration and thankfulness for the lives and love of those who lived among us for so short a time.”

– Priscilla “Patsy” Bullit Collins, Founder and Co-chair, Garden of Remembrance Committee

• For over 25 years, the Garden of Remembrance has stood as a sacred place to honor Washington State’s fallen service members, combining artful design with meaningful details.
• Memorial Walls: Over 8,000 names of Washington State veterans are inscribed.
• Reflective Spaces: Water features and quiet corners inspire contemplation and peace.
• Urban Oasis: The Garden provides the largest tree canopy in Seattle’s downtown corridor, adjacent to Benaroya Hall, offering shade and tranquility amidst the cityscape.
• Landscape Architecture: Designed by Landscape Architect Robert Murase, the Garden integrates native plants and architectural elements to symbolize life, growth and renewal.

“The garden is more than a place;
it’s a story of sacrifice, resilience, and community.”
