Visiting the Garden

The Kruckeberg Botanic Garden is a public garden in Shoreline, Washington. It is open to the public Friday, Saturday and Sunday, as well as for scheduled events and tours. Dr. Arthur Kruckeberg, co-founder, continues to live on site, as does the Garden caretaker.

Driving Directions

• From I-5, take Exit 176 and go west on 175th Street, across Aurora Avenue (Highway 99), until you reach the stop light at Fremont Avenue N.

• Turn right to go north on Fremont Avenue to 185th St., then west (left) on 185th (which becomes Richmond Beach Road). You will travel through a commercial area and down a long, winding hill.

• Turn north (right) onto 15th Avenue NW, and the garden is about 1/2 mile up the hill, on the right. Look for the banner in the trees.

Parking at the Garden

Please note that the Garden is located in a residential neighborhood with limited parking. There is no on-site parking facilities. All parking is on neighborhood roadsides. When visiting the Garden, please carpool or use alternate means of transportation when possible, and respect the rights and privacy of our neighbors.

For scheduled events, especially our annual Mother’s Day plant sale, we often provide off-site parking and shuttle service to reduce the impact on the immediate neighborhood. When this service is available, please use it so that we can continue to be good neighbors.

Contact us if you have questions about parking. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
