In July of 2005, near the
north parking lot of South Seattle Community College,
construction is to begin on one of the most ambitious horticultural
projects on the West Coast — a Chinese garden three times the
combined
size of the acclaimed Chinese gardens in Portland and Vancouver, B.C.
Seattle
Times, May 31st 2005
KrekowJennings is proud to be
managing the construction of this ambitious and beautiful development,
which includes a 200-seat banquet hall, an education center, a
teahouse, an exhibition building, a lake the size of Husky Field
and an 85-foot tower and other pavilions.
The Seattle Chinese Gardens project will provide significant cultural
and business ties to the state's third largest trading partner (after
Japan and Canada).
The groundbreaking ceremony took place August 18th 2005, and the gardens are expected to be complete in ten years.
Contributors to the project include the Chinese city of Chongqing,
which became Seattle's sister city in 1983, Boeing, the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation and King County.
