Custom Landscape Lighting Design in Seward Park, Seattle

Perched on a hillside above Lake Washington near Seward Park, this Seattle residence enjoys sweeping evening views across the water and a landscape filled with mature trees, layered plantings, and winding garden paths. The homeowners wanted their outdoor spaces to feel welcoming after sunset—illuminated in a way that felt natural, elegant, and connected to the surrounding landscape.

Northwest Outdoor Lighting designed and installed a 32-fixture low-voltage lighting system that gently guides guests from the street to the front entry while highlighting the property’s distinctive trees and architectural details. Throughout the project we used a blend of 2700K and our signature Sunset Tone to create warmth and visual depth across the garden.

From the street, the softly illuminated tree canopy draws the eye toward the home while subtle pathway lighting ensures safe arrival along the winding walk. At the entry, warm architectural lighting welcomes visitors to the front door and creates a sense of arrival that complements the mid-century character of the home.

In the backyard, lighting extends the living space well into the evening. Garden beds, seasonal flowers, and sculptural trees are gently highlighted while the lake beyond becomes part of the nighttime experience. Carefully placed pathway and garden lights provide just enough illumination to move comfortably around the property without overpowering the peaceful views of the water and surrounding neighborhood.

The result is a lighting design that feels effortless—enhancing the beauty of the landscape, supporting nighttime safety, and allowing the homeowners to enjoy their property long after the sun has set.
