Kerry Park

An unsurpassed view of Elliott Bay and the Central City, with an occasional backdrop of Mount Rainier, draws camera buffs to this spot. At sunset they often line the wall just as the city and the sound are beginning to glow with lights. At night it becomes almost a fantasy scene, with brightly lit ferries gliding across the water and the Space Needle shining from its 500-foot pedestal.

Seattle is a hilly city, surrounded by water and mountains, so there are many viewpoints to get a great view of the Seattle skyline. Perhaps none are more photographed than the view from Kerry Park on Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill. The park offers a perfect view of downtown Seattle on the left and Elliott Bay on the right, with Mt. Rainier looming large in the distance right over Safeco Field and Qwest Field.

Often called Lower Kerry Park, this part of the park is below the famous viewpoint. A fun place to frolic, it offers a large lawn area, landscaping, paths, neighborhood gathering area and children's play equipment. Franklin Place, across the street from Bayview-Kinnear to the southeast, is also part of Kerry Park property.

Kerry Park is a 1.26-acre (0.51-hectare) park on the south slope of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington, located at the corner of Second Avenue West and West Highland Drive. According to a plaque on a wall in the park, "Kerry Park [was] given to the City in 1927 by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sperry Kerry, Sr., so that all who stop here may enjoy this view." That view encompasses downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, the West Seattle peninsula, Bainbridge Island, and Mount Rainier.[1]
