The first such shutdown will occur beginning Sunday, July 15, at 3 a.m. and continue through 6 p.m. on Monday, July 16.

During the closures, access to the Seattle Japanese Garden parking lot will be available from the south end of Lake Washington Boulevard. Access to the Graham Visitors Center and the north end of the Arboretum will be provided from the north end of Lake Washington Boulevard from Foster Island Drive."
