Sehome Hill Arboretum, Natural arboretum in Bellingham, United States.
The Sehome Hill Arboretum spans 175.5 acres of second-growth forest, featuring native trees such as Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock, and Western Redcedar alongside diverse shrubs.
Coal mining claims established in the 1850s led to tunnel construction throughout Sehome Hill, with logging activities continuing until 1906 before the land became a park.
The arboretum functions as an educational center where Western Washington University students conduct research projects and monitor environmental changes through structured programs.
Visitors can explore over 6 miles of pedestrian-only trails from 6 AM until dusk, with main entrance points at Bill McDonald Parkway and multiple secondary access locations.
An 80-foot wooden observation tower provides views of Bellingham Bay, while a hand-cut tunnel from 1923 offers passages through the geological formations.
