Seattle - One of the Most Beautiful Cities in the World

From the SeattlePI

Calling the city's new Olympic Sculpture Park "brilliant," the American Society of Landscape Architects named its designers one of three 2007 award winners for projects in the Seattle area.

Other projects honored were Washington Mutual's 17th-floor green roof, and greening-of-Seattle concepts developed for the next century.

In addition, Richard Haag of Seattle will receive the society's Design Medal for his work at Gas Works Park on Lake Union and at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island.

"Seattle is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and this is reflected in the number of projects and landscape architects receiving top honors year after year," said society president Patrick W. Caughey.
