For the postcard-perfect view of Seattle, head to Kerry Park, a small hilltop park in the Queen Anne neighborhood that delivers the skyline shot everyone dreams of.
From this free public viewpoint you can see downtown Seattle, the Space Needle, Elliott Bay and, on clear days, Mount Rainier rising majestically in the distance. It’s the classic panorama that defines the Emerald City, and it never disappoints.
Ideal for photographers, couples and anyone visiting Seattle for the first time. Tip: go at sunset for golden light over the city, and on a clear morning for the best chance to spot Mount Rainier. Bring a jacket — it can be breezy up here.
