Volunteer Park Water Tower

There is an informative exhibit on the walls of the water Tower about Olmsted brothers, creators of Central Park created Volunteer Park - a magical gem of Seattle.

Hike the steps for 360 views . Windows have grates which make pics a little tough however but that's what you get for FREE!

Once you’re up the steep steps you are rewarded with an awesome 360 view of seattle and lake washington and if you’re lucky on a clear day you get to see all the mountains around seattle

If you can't afford the Space Needle , climb the water tower stairs to a stellar view ! Next to park is the conservatory with orchids + Bruce and Brandon Lee's graves are close by as well . Fun daytrip!

…see if the water tower is open. It’s more inviting than it looks from outside and the extra climb is worth the view .…

Go up to the top of the tower for several stunning views of the city , each different from the last.

Must see lookout :)

Fabulous views and who knows who you may find there.... ;)

Beautiful view ! Park it breathtaking!

107 steps : great workout and a scenic view of Seattle at the top!

The stair-climb and the view on a beautiful sunny winter day.

Go to the top of the "poor mans space needle " to check out the view from the top of the water tower. Don't get freaked out during the long winding staircase to the top. It's worth it.

Definitely take the steps to the top.

Head to the top and watch planes ✈️

Great view of the city from the top of the water tower.

Cool spot to look at downtown Seattle at night

Great 360 views of Seattle and Bellevue

The Poor Man 's Space Needle ... excellent views of Seattle ... and only 304 steps to the top

Totally worth climbing up all those stairs

Views of the needle from the other side.

Up up up and you will enjoy a great view . No money just your struggle :p

It's a workout going up those stairs .

Beware the workout junkies using the stairs .

Great tower to do STEPS workout

Great exercise walking and up and down the stairs ! Feel the burn! lol

Great view !

It's worth the price of admission...

Strap on your climbing shoes and do some buildering on the gnarly bricks.

Great photo opportunity .
