Kerry Park on Queen Anne

Near the top of fashionable Queen Anne Hill, Kerry Park offers a 180-degree view of Seattle. The Space Needle rises at nearly eye-level a ½-mile away, while Mt. Rainier provides a backdrop that appears to be a double exposure. Sailboats, ferries and the Olympic Mountains fill the view to the west.
