Jamestown S’Klallam Healing Clinic – 2024 WASLA Honor Award – General Design

Completed in 2023, the Jamestown S’Klallam Healing Clinic in Sequim, WA can treat more than 300 people a day, including non-Tribal, who suffer with substance abuse. FBP provided site and planting design in collaboration with a team led by architects at Rice Fergus Miller. The project includes a 2-acre healing garden- a park-like setting that can be enjoyed by staff and those undergoing treatment. The garden includes arcing pathways and boardwalks that follow flowing water from a “headwaters” garden to a lush, lowland delta garden inspired by the context within the Olympic Peninsula and the journey of healing than can begin here.

Town & Country Market

A landscape plan was created in conjunction with the renovation of this community’s beloved local market using edible garden types as inspiration. For example, a Fruit & Beverage garden is located at the new NE corner entry and cafe patio and a new pocket park along Winslow Way will support a Savory Herb garden. Three sides of the building will be adorned with climbing vines and tightly spaced pole apple trees will soften the west side facade. Numerous bulbs and perennials will provide seasonal interest throughout the year.

Winlsow Green

The Winslow Green anchors one end of Bainbridge Island’s Historic Mainstreet. The 1/3-acre park is privately owned by the retail and residential Condominium Association who encourage public access and use by the community. The large lawn was retained and the site reorganized to create more opportunities for the park to serve as a venue for a variety of community events. Upgrades include improved access to the park and businesses. New features include a civic scaled arrival staircase framed with granite boulders, a crushed stone plaza, drainage improvements, walks, landscaping, and small gardens. The existing pavilion was repositioned and upgraded.
