Explore Seattle’s urban forest and the humans that live within it. Imagine what the Puget Sound might look like in the year 2070, if it’s to become a place where both trees and humans grow old. Share in the stories and histories that have shaped the forest we live in: colonialism, assimilation boarding schools, Japanese internment, and regional restoration among them. Follow the story of Chief Seattle Club, as they turn concrete into a Medicine Garden at Eagle Village. Welcome to Growing Old.
