May 7, 2025. The Magnolia Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce a new beautification project launching this week to create a more welcoming and visually appealing entrance to Magnolia Village at the junction of Clise Place Way and 32nd Avenue West. Thanks to generous private donors, a matching grant from the City of Seattle’s Department of Neighborhoods, and the inspiring vision and dedication of Magnolia resident Susan Reilly, this effort will transform the overgrown garden space into a vibrant and inviting community feature.
The redesigned garden will include:
- A colorful meadow of pollinator-friendly, drought-tolerant flowers
- A dry stream bed with decorative boulders
- A bronze statue titled “The Adventure” depicting children at play
- Welcoming signage and thoughtful landscaping to enhance the village experience
We expect the streetscape improvement project to be completed by July and we can’t wait to share the results with the community.
