New Chinese Garden Planned for Seattle

Seattle is planning the construction of a Chinese garden that will be three times the combined area of the Chinese gardens in Portland and Vancouver. The four and a half acre garden is expected to cost US$30 million and take ten years to construct. The Seattle garden will be built in the style of the Sichuan province to reflect the culture of Seattle’s sister city, Chongqing.
