Kubota Garden built into a glacial ravine

Kubota Garden is a 20-acre Japanese-American garden situated in a steep, wooded ravine in the Rainier Beach neighborhood that follows a stream valley carved into glacial deposits. The garden incorporates large glacial erratics and terraces and preserves the ravine's natural slope and drainage patterns, making it a distinct topographic feature within the city. Its design and rockwork highlight the local glacially influenced geomorphology amid an urban residential area.
