This park is up the steep hill in the Queen Anne section of Seattle, WA. The view is the best there is. Not only do you have the city of Seattle set below you, but you also have the spectacular view of Mt. Rainier perfectly positioned right behind the city. On a clear day, it is the best view of the city there is.

Photography is best in the afternoon and early evening. There is parking right in front of the park for about 12 cars, but there is street parking available all around the area near the park. The park lies between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue on West Highland Drive. The park is a must see and is included on many of the city bus tours.

Note the tour group in the photo above!
Enjoy this spectacular view of Seattle.
