Beacon Place

Urban Green Oasis

Tucked between the I-5 and 12th Avenue Jose Rizal Bridge underpasses on Dearborn Street, Beacon Place is a small pocket of greenery in Seattle's urban landscape. It's not fancy or developed, but sometimes that's exactly what you need - a simple patch of nature amid the city bustle.

A Gift from the Past

This modest green space comes to us courtesy of Edward F. Wittler (1851-1917), a businessman and real estate developer who played a significant role in shaping early Seattle. His donation has remained largely untouched, preserving a little slice of natural Seattle amid the ever-evolving cityscape.

Simple Pleasures

You won't find playgrounds or picnic tables here - Beacon Place embraces minimalism with its grassy areas and scattered trees. While it doesn't boast the amenities of larger parks, there's something refreshing about its simplicity. It offers a brief escape from concrete and traffic, a green buffer where you can pause, breathe, and reconnect with a bit of nature before continuing your day.
