P-Patch Community Gardens

Squire Park

Squire Park Patch

In its first life, this site grew foundations, multi-room apartments and parked cars. The apartment building was demolished in the late 50’s and Seattle acquired it in a land trade. Local residents enlisted the P-Patch program and with the help of the Seattle Conservation Corp carted off many loads of rubble, spread the soil and planted the first Central District community garden.
