In 1975, restaurateur and community leader Dan “Danny” G. Woo (1914-1987) donated 1.5 acres located on the hillside between Washington Street and Main Street for development of the International District Community Garden. The garden contains nearly 100 plots that are cultivated and cared for by elderly and low-income residents of the neighborhood. The garden is also home to a children's garden, chicken coop, outdoor kitchen, and fruit tree orchard.

In this image, neighborhood residents celebrate the dedication of the community garden. Visible in the distance are Seattle landmarks the Kingdome, and the King Street Station clock tower.
