Seattle's Olympic Sculpture Park is now open!

This weekend we had absolutely gorgeous sunny weather and have spent large part of both days happily strolling outside! On Saturday we went for a long hike in Magnolia's Discovery Park followed by a hearty late lunch at Red Mill Burgers, which has by now become the Kong family weekend tradition! On Sunday we decided to check out Seattle's newest park on the waterfront which recently opened.
On January 20, the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) opened the Olympic Sculpture Park, transforming downtown Seattle's last and largest waterfront property into a vibrant green space and dynamic setting for modern and contemporary art. The nine-acre park was designed by Weiss/Manfredi of New York and integrates architecture, landscape and urban design, enabling visitors to experience sculpture outdoors while also enjoying magnificent views of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound. It's little wonder that it has attracted more than 40,000 visitors in its first week!
