Parsons Garden
Yet, another place that I've probably passed a billion times and never knew existed. From the outside it just looks like another fancy schmancy Queen Anne home with a huge f*#k-off garden. Then when you realize that you can actually go through the gate and into Alice's wonderland, you find out that Parsons Garden is such a great, albeit small, piece of heaven. People with cameras who are sick of the Space Needle and Mount Rainier can come here and jerk off to all the pretty flowers growing about. And the gazebo is just calling for a quaint wedding in the summertime. Go when you're sick of the tour buses at Kerry Park. Go to have a dumb picnic with your boyfriend. Or just go and read a book or gawk at someone's annoyingly cute family having a nice day. It's the perfect, little retreat that's just a short walk from the obvious beauty of Kerry Park. Yet, this park gives you things like shade and no condo construction.
