Perfect cone is probably Sequoiadendron giganteum. There are also some Pinus flexilis 'Vanderwolf's Pyramid' in the park. There are small signs on some of the trees saying what they are, I believe Seattle Parks paid Jacobson to do this at one point.

Hey, it's almost time for the annual Siberian elm seed parade! These things are so prolific, you'll see the seeds snowing down on the roads and then blowing around as cars drive through the stuff. And the seeds are often sticky, too. This tree is a real mess. If you look at one right now, you'll see about a million seeds per linear foot of branch (OK, slight exaggeration!), and they're all getting ready to drop any day now. This reminds me, though, to make my plug for a wonderful tree that often gets confused with Siberian elm. It's the Chinese Elm, or Lacebark Elm. I have one in my backyard, and when I first planted it, my neighbor questioned my sanity -- people around here typically call the Siberian Elm a Chinese Elm. They have similar leaves, but their bark and their shape are different. The Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) has a nice-looking, lacy bark that often flakes off a little. It has semi-weeping branches that are very graceful. And it will grow fast but has roots that won't heave pavement (which is somewhat rare among fast growers). In northern California, where I used to live, these trees would get 30' across in five years and would be nearly evergreen through the winter. I have one here by my patio, and it's eventually going to arch over the patio to provide shade for a dining area. It's been in the ground for five years and is probably 15-20' wide now.

though there are a few heavenly fragrant Vs .. many have some of the most disgusting smelling flowers in the garden ... we need to ID your plant by pix .. and everything else flora said .. ken

' You can feel the difference though. Ouch .' A heavy leather glove works every time. ;-) 'Spines, Solanaceae petal shape and central stamens were identifying signs in the first picture. ' I never noticed the spines in the first picture, but they are in there, good eye! :-) Although many vegetable/fruit vines have a heavy pubescence which could've been mistaken for spines to an untrained eye.
