Nice view of the downtown. If you don't want to go to the downtown but need a good view of the space needle to put in facebook probably ;) then this is the best place. Can sit and relax and enjoy the beauty, but seems to me that it is crowded almost always. More

This is one of the best view in the city. Free of charge. It can sometimes be very busy. Walk or take a bus. More

I've lived in Seattle for five years now, and Kerry Park is still the best place to look at the skyline. One warning: Sunny nights and weekends get busy. Parking can be a little difficult on busy nights, so don't be surprised if you have to walk a few blocks. More

Weather permitting, if you want "the" postcard photo of Seattle, this is the place to take it from. Great view of downtown/Space Needle/ferries and Mt. Rainier...a tiny park with a huge view. All my out of town friends want to know where Frasier lived - this place (not far off Queen Anne) is close enough to satisfy them. More

This is the best postcard view of Seattle possible, but it is more than that. The surrounding neighborhood is gorgeous, filled with lovely mansions and beautiful fragrant gardens that dazzle the eyes. It is approximately 3 miles from downtown (one way) and is an excellent and enjoyable way to burn some calories from all the great food in this town.... More

This is one of the best places (my favorite) in the city to get a view of downtown and the Space Needle. One a clear sunny day you can see Mt Rainer and much more. When the sun is setting you can get some amazing pictures with lots of great colors and reflections off the buildings and sometimes early in... More

This park has a wonderful view of the city and the Queen Anne neighborhood is beautiful. The park is very small though, so this can be a pretty quick stop. More
