    Here is an 8 year old article about the Sound Garden: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/visualart/hart221.shtml

    I was wondering what that link was and after I clicked on it I laughed out loud, totally wasn't expecting Stonehenge...good one!

    p.s I thought I'd seen a good pic of the Soundgarden, it was fenced in, with more windmill sort of artwork/devices...must have been somewhere else
    I met my wife here...you can too! Don't lose hope!

    It's not closed... it's just under a lot of security as it is now in NOAA property/territory whichever way they call it.

    It opens to the public Monday through Friday and you have to show a government issued ID at the checkpoint.. kinda like the airport.. but you can still go in, it's by Magnuson Park... :)

    We were there. It was a holiday, though, so we couldn't get too close. Had to take some crappy photos through the fence at the dog park.

    It's at Magnuson park with several art/music pieces. The windier it is, the better it sounds (IMHO). It really can be beautiful. The same park (different area) where PJ played a huge free show in 92 along with Cypress Hill and others that I can't remember.

    I didn't know there was so much security there now - it's lame that you have to have your bags searched and ID checked before you can go in!

    why the security?
  • gjemselgjemsel Posts: 77
    Because it's next to Magnuson Park and the property is government property, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Security was beefed up after 911 in general.

    When I called they told me how to get in and the best way is to walk in at the dog park, and that the gate is supposed to be open during their business hours and closed on holidays. Since we were there on Memorial Day, we had to view through the fence.

    I would probably try that first, and then go through the main entrance if there isn't anybody there or it is locked.

    In general, they were very friendly and siad that visitors were absolutely welcome to visit the gardens and the sculpture site.

    Here a couple pictures of I took a day after the Gorge in 2006. I just drove up to the NOAA and told them I wanted to see the Soundgarden. I had to fill out a visitor form and then park my car down the road inside the fence by the NOAA and hike about a mile but had no problems with security.
