In its 25th year, Seattle resident Duane Kelly inspired the Northwest Flower & Garden Show after visiting the 1987 Philadelphia Flower Show. At the time, Duane and his wife Alice were owners of Salmon Bay Events and sought an event for the Northwest which would bring residents out of the long gloom of Northwest winters. It took two years of planning before Duane and Alice opened the doors to the 1989 Northwest Flower & Garden Show.
