The Secret Garden was one of my favorite books growing up. So I was delighted to discover a garden hidden away on the top level of the parking garage at McCaw Hall. Years ago, rather than wasting time looking for a “good” spot, I always drove straight to the rooftop when I came to see the ballet or the opera. Somewhere along the line (probably when I started wearing high heels?) I changed my strategy and started parking elsewhere. When I heard that the roof had been converted to a P-Patch, I had to confirm it for myself. And there it was, the UpGarden, a secret garden right across the street from the Seattle Center.
