UW Cherry Blossoms

The Yoshino Cherry Trees that are set in the heart of the University of Washington campus were originally planted in the Arboretum over 90 years ago. In 1964 the trees were transplanted at the Quad bringing thousands of visitors to campus each spring to witness their beautiful rosy bloom. Every year they reach peak bloom for about two weeks as early as mid-March to as late as mid-April. This is a great time to plan a trip and think about alternatives to congested parking. Think about jumping on the Link Light Rail and walking about ½ mile. Enjoy!
