With the grand view of Mountain Rainier, Merrill Gardens at Tukwila Senior Housing provides a unique and exciting experience for every tenant.  Located along the Green River waterfront, the open sidewalk connects people with nature directly. The pedestrian experience is enriched by the pergola with climbing vines, sculptural art and benches.

The memory care garden on the second floor creates a quiet therapeutic garden and outdoor dining area. The view of the mountain and river set the gorgeous background for dinner. Tenants are surrounded by raised planters with lush greens and a touchable water feature. A multipurpose roof deck hosts different amenities, including a fire place, BBQ area, tenant gardening planters, and outdoor relaxed seating.
