An unsurpassed view of Elliott Bay and the Central City, with an occasional backdrop of Mount Rainier, draws camera buffs to this spot.

Great place to get a view of Seattle from above. If come on a clear day you can get a shot of the city and Mt. Rainer in the background. Bring a DSLR, a tripod, and lens in the 50-70mm range.
Awesome view of Seattle and Mt. Rainier on a clear day . Grab some Molly moon's ice cream a few blocks over and enjoy your snack with a view !
Stand on the bench closest to the city to get over the trees . This is the postcard shot of Seattle with the Needle in front of the city . For more of a fun shot frame the Space Needle in the sculpture .
Great views ! Worth the trip up the hill . Before getting there, stop a couple of blocks up the hill first to Molly Moon's for some delicious ice cream and enjoy it while sitting on the wall.
Aside from Alki, this is one of the all time best lookout points to see Seattle's skyline.Great place which includes downtown, Space Needle , ocean, and Mount Rainier . It was breath-taking.
Scenic but in the summer, keep the a/c in the car running so you can sprint back post-photos
Offers one of the best views of the city rain or shine, night or day--but it's postcard perfection on a clear day at nearly sunset when "the mountain " (aka Mt. Rainier ) is out.
Really and truly the best view of Seattle . Definitely a hike from Belltown/Downtown/any neighborhood near the water but worth it. Better than the view from the space needle !
Whether visiting this spot coupled up or single, this breathtaking view of Seattle is bound to give your spirits a boost. Great memories here... #TrueStory
You can't get a better, closer view of the Needle than at Kerry park. Yes, touristy . But still an awesome view especially when the mountain is out!
Small park , big views ! These views of all of Seattle and on a clear day Mt. Rainier are second to none. If this is your first trip to Seattle don't pass this up.
It's quite a hike to get to on foot from downtown but worth it for the best views of the skyline. Not much open space though.
With my 16 years in Seattle, I'd have to say this is my favorite spot to see the Seattle skyline . Surrounded are stairs and hills - it makes for a great workout!
Absolutely beautiful! A great place to see the city from a different angle, have coffee and read a book . I would imagine very romantic at night.
The best view in the city is here. Do not spend money trying to get to the Space Needle .
Awesome panorama view of the Seattle skyline . Especially beautiful during sunrise & sunset , but also at night when everything is aglow.
If coming from Lower Queen Anne, stop for a glass of wine before or after at the Sitting Room and take the more romantic stairs nearby versus straight up Queen Anne street.
Amazing. Go a bit before sunset when the sky is changing rapidly. Bring a lover to smooch or a beer to sip (sneakily).
Fantastic view of Seattle & the space needle - take a no 1 or 29 bus to get to Kerry Park from downtown. Helps you up that hill for USD2.50...
During the summer, bring your out-of-town friends here and snap your very Seattle looking pictures. Look up at the clouds, too!
The best place in Seattle for a panoramic view of the city skyline!
Classic views of the Space Needle with Rainier in the background! Amazing at sunset . Watch out - the park is tiny!
The most stunning views of Seattle (esp when the sun is out)!
The quintessential view of Seattle with the Space Needle , downtown, and Rainier all within the same field of view . Come here on a clear day .
Gorgeous views ! Go on a sunny day. Can also walk the stairs and through the neighborhood for exercise.
Go here both by day and by night if you get the chance. Skyline looks awesome when the lights come on as well as by day.
Best view of Seattle ! The roads can be very narrow with high inclined, so be careful!
Sunset views in Summer are incredible! It's very windy even in Summer so rug up!
Parking is gonna be a hassle but the view is priceless and worth the trek to see for yourself
Amazing view of downtown Seattle and the waterfront . Also, some gorgeous houses in the area.
The best view in Seattle, period. Why bother going up in the Needle when you can picnic in Kerry Park?
Amaaazzzinng view to relax. Bring your coffee and enjoy!!
The view is absolutely stunning! Perfect for picnics , photo ops, or just enjoying the scenery.
While you're here, don't forget to check out (and check-in at) the nearby Marshall Park for an equally spectacular view . It's at the corner of W Highland Dr and 7th Ave W!
Come on a clear sunny day. Beautiful view of Seattle !
A gorgeous view of downtown Seattle , the Space Needle & the water! This is definitely a place to start snapping away! Wowza! Zing! Plus a great historical neighborhood to explore too!
Place to be if you are in Seattle. Spectacular.
The views from Kerry Park never get old, especially on a starry night. If it is your first trip to Seattle do not pass the trip up.
Probably one of the most iconic views of the city . Photos are great, but seeing it in person is even better, especially during sunset .
The best view of Seattle . The drive up here is also amazing. Loved it.
Beautiful view and super romantic . Seattle at its best.
I like it better at night. A lot less people and you sorta feel as though you're on top of the world. Great place for thinking...
Great free views of the Seattle skyline .
Everything. Best view of the city and Mt Rainier
Best view of downtown Seattle . A big of a walk so be prepared but, well worth the hike .
Surprisingly it's not crowded . I grew up in the suburbs of Seattle and we did all our "before dance pictures" here
Make your way up Queen Anne to Kerry Park where you can get an amazing, postcard view of the city . Don't forget to bring your camera !
Great place to take pictures of the downtown Seattle skyline .
Very romantic at night.
This park offers the best view ’s of downtown AND way uptown, as in the Space Needle and Mt. Rainier ! See Seattle’s highest sights! #seemoresights

Really awesome park with great views of Seattle. Fun to explore the nooks and crannies, but a shame you can't (legally) climb on anything! - Jenny
A great place to watch the sunset and walk your dogs on-leash. The main loop definitely gets crowded when the weather is warm and/dry. - John Porter
By far one of the most quiet and extremely gorgeous views of the Bay and part of the city! - Skoi Michaels
Fun landmark to see and climb. You can even do a quick drive by. - _
Impressed with the selection of fresh meats and produce at great prices. The flower bouquets are surprisingly inexpensive. I recommend having Hungarian sausage and draft beer at Uli's Famous Sausage. - Christopher Best
Holy molly!!! Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. The cookie dough in the cone with the chocolate above AND below the ice cream is INSANE. Yeti also incredible. - Lee Hoffman
