Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is inviting all interested Architectural Firms to submit qualifications for the Washington Park Arboretum Environmental Education Center Pre-Design Study.
Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR), in equal partnership with the University of Washington Botanic Gardens (UW), and the Arboretum Foundation (AF) are engaging in a pre-design study for the building of a new Environmental Education Center at Washington Park Arboretum.
