About Stevens Place in Seattle
Stevens Place is a small triangular park located in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Situated at the intersection of Beacon Avenue South and 17th Avenue South, this compact green space spans approximately 0.19 acres. The park was one of five small parcels donated to the city by the Denny-Blaine Land Company, contributing to the area's network of public spaces.
Despite its modest size, Stevens Place offers a pleasant spot for local residents to take a brief respite from urban life. The park's most notable feature is a bench, which provides a comfortable seating area for visitors to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The triangular shape of the park is defined by the converging streets, creating a unique urban oasis within the neighborhood.
The park is named in honor of Isaac Stevens, who served as the first Governor of Washington Territory. This historical connection adds a layer of significance to the small urban green space, tying it to the region's past.
