The presentation will discuss the plant species and landscapes of Seattle as they existed before permanent Euro-American settlement in 1850. Ray Larson, Associate Director and Curator, University of Washington Botanic Gardens, will share the results of his master’s thesis research into how Seattle and the greater Seattle area looked in terms of landscape character and the common plant species people would have encountered before urban development. Using historical records such as surveyors notes, herbarium records, settlers accounts, indigenous place names, vegetation surveys and photos, Ray will take us on a tour of Seattle and how these resources can be applied to other communities in Western Washington.
