Capitol Hill Wishing Tree

Tourist Attraction in Seattle

4.9 (81) Wishing Tree
Directions

The Capitol Hill Wishing Tree is a community-focused Japanese Maple and art installation where visitors are invited to write their wishes on paper tags and tie them to its branches. Illuminated by fairy lights, this popular neighborhood landmark offers a unique, interactive experience for both locals and tourists.

Viewers express strong appreciation for the featured Seattle locations, frequently characterizing them as "hidden gems" within the city. A lighthearted debate exists between those jokingly attempting to gatekeep these spots and locals who clarify that they are already well-known community landmarks.

  • Bring a pen to write your wish on the provided paper tags
  • Visit at night to see the tree illuminated by fairy lights
  • Expect a popular community spot rather than a truly hidden secret
  • Take photos of the Japanese Maple's unique artistic display
