Waterfall Gardens

As you approach you can hear the water. Louder and louded and then you turn the corner and see the falls.

With flowers at its edge and trees hanging over the falls, they always make me smile and want to sit awhile.

What is most unique about these falls is that they are in the middle of Seattle, part of a small "pocket" park in Pioneer Square.

"Located at Main and Second, this secluded, lovely park offers an oasis for sightseers, shoppers, and Pioneer Square locals with a majestic waterfall and surrounding seating. A popular lunchtime spot, Waterfall Garden is also wired with power outlets for those wanting to plug in outside. Privately built and maintained by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Waterfall Garden marks the birthplace of the United Parcel Service."


Take a step back and it all comes into focus, this beautiful little park with multiple waterfalls and tiered seating all undercover.

Just for fun, I adjusted the speed a bit and got that lovely waterfall look that many like.

Next time you're downtown, take a break and enjoy this lovely gem of a park.
