Bronze entry gates stolen from arboretum

March 19, 2020 by Montlake Flyer 4 Comments

The bronze entry gates to the Graham Visitors Center in the Arboretum were stolen. These large gates, which were kept in the open position as a decorative feature, were designed and built by famed artist George Tsutakawa in 1976. They were commissioned as memorial gates to all who cared about the Arboretum. Police have been notified, and it would be helpful if anyone can report any suspicious activity from the area on the night of March 17 or early morning of March 18th or can review any home videos cameras along Lake Washington Blvd or on surrounding streets. There are no video cameras allowed in Seattle’s public parks so there is no footage in the Arboretum. The gates are large enough they would have required a large truck or flatbed. Thieves also took the metal downspouts at the Graham Visitors Center in the Arboretum. Case number is 2020-197368. Officer Rebecca Miller responded. Scrap yards have been notified. Please spread the word. Picture of the gates can be found here: https://discover.stqry.com/v/madrona-leschi-madison-park/s/a54994f7-5787-42cc-98ef-5ff70b5bf90f

    This is so unimaginable considering the time that we are all living in. Theft is just so low in a place that is so loved and revered. What kind of person would think of this?!
