Fern Die-Off Blog
Since 2013 the Friends of Seward Park have documented and researched the alarming die-off of the park’s sword fern population. Though Seward Park appears to be one of the first places hit by the die-off, the die-off is now also being tracked in other Puget Sound locations.
Torii Project
For the park centennial in 2011, the torii committee undertook to design, raise money, and construct a replacement for the original Seward Park Torii, a gift from the Seattle Japanese Chamber of Commerce to the city of Seattle in 1935, that was removed because of decay in the 1980s. A celebration of the now completed torii is expected on April 2, 2022 at 1:00pm.
