Meet at Queen Anne Library, 400 West Garfield Street
Ready to leaf your worries behind? Join volunteer tree guide, Kimberley, for a pun-derfully scenic tree tour through the historic Queen Anne neighborhood! We’ll wander past giant conifers that reach for the clouds, deciduous trees that flaunt their spring best, and take a few moments to pine over the stunning local architecture.
It’s a stroll that’s equal parts nature, history, and a little bit of arbor-amusement. Come get to the root of what makes this neighborhood so special! Bring your walking shoes, your curiosity, maybe an umbrella and your best tree pun—we’ll provide the rest!
