Facts and practical information

Dunn Gardens in Seattle, Washington, is a privately owned 7.5-acre property composed of the remaining acreage of the estate of Arthur G. Dunn Sr. who bought the property in 1914 as a summer get-a-way for his family, and contracted the landscaping to the Olmsted Brothers. Upon his death, the property was inherited by his children. His son Edward B. Dunn provided for the care of his share of the estate in his will. A trust was created two years after his death to oversee the entire property. Dunn Gardens were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, 1994, and is open for special public events and docent-led guided tours April through July, and from September through October.
