KABUTO GARDEN - SEATTLE I was driving around in a section of town called Skyway in south Seattle when I came acrossed KABUTO PARK. I have known for years that there was a Japanese Garden in south Seattle. I've even tried to find it from addresses that were published in local circulars, but I could never find it. That day in early spring I finally found it. It was a hot day. I pulled up in the parking lot and and got out and started down one of the trails. The park is several acres in size so I didn't see most of it. It is full of waterfalls, flowering trees, hidden clearings, and has a few bridges. It does not have lanterns or Japanese objects like the garden in the Arboretum has. If you like these things then it is a good place to visit and take pictures. I'll have to go there again and take my time going through it, and maybe take a map that tells you what you are seeing. Maybe I can find more things in it. I'm sure it is one of those gardens that you have to see many times to get the full benefit of.
About the most interesting thing about this park was this bridge. There are other bridges here but this one caught my attention.
This is just one of the many waterfalls found in this park.
