The Rhododendron Species Foundation and Botanical Gardens, located just south of Seattle in Federal Way, is a 22-acre woodland filled with over 10,000 rhododendrons and native conifer trees. Given the fact that the Pacific Northwest's climate is perfect for Rhododendron, this is the perfect place to get your fill of the amazingly diverse plant species (and some Azalea, too). Park experts explain that the "flowering season" usually starts in early January and sometimes runs as long as until May. The gardens are open every day except Friday during the summer and admission is free.
