See the City Differently

It may be a small space in the grand scheme of the city that is Seattle, but its views are vast and worth the visit. Kerry Park is located on the southern side of Queen Anne Hill at 211 W. Highland Drive. It is a designated public park, but perhaps it’s unofficial title should be the city’s ultimate viewing and photography destination. A trip to Kerry Park during the daylight hours promises to provide sweeping views of the downtown skyline complete with a towering space needle. Elliott Bay is always front and center from this vantage point with Mt. Rainier making an appearance on days when the rain and clouds are held at bay.

Kerry Park, which was established in Seattle in 1927 does come complete with a play area for kids as well as some inspiring artwork, but it’s truly the view that has earned this destination its scenic reputation. The park stays open until 10:00 pm each night which means there are plenty of options for catching glimpses of downtown Seattle as it transitions from a sunrise to a sunset city. This park is often packed with amateur and professional photographers in the early evening waiting to capture that perfect shot of colors streaking across the sky and reflecting off the water. If this isn’t mesmerizing enough, when the sun goes down the view takes a turn for the glittering. Come after dark to admire the city skyline lit up and glimmering ferries making their way into port. With so many beautiful moments waiting to be captured, there’s never a bad time to make your way to Kerry Park.
