Carey Park offers the best vantage point for viewing downtown Seattle. From here, the Space Needle blends seamlessly into the city's skyscrapers. The golden glow of the setting sun glints across the dark gray facades of the skyscrapers, adding a touch of brilliance to the solemnity. The Space Needle's sleek architecture and whitewashed facades, against this backdrop, suddenly appear particularly romantic. Photographers should come here to capture the most panoramic views of Seattle.

Kerry Park is actually an observation deck with a small grassy area, located in the residential area halfway up Queen Anne. It offers the best views of the Seattle skyline, especially in the evening. We visited in the morning, and the skyline was clear, but the strong sunlight made it difficult to capture the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Carry Park is a platform, a sightseeing platform on the top of the hill, in front of a residential area, from which you can see the Space Needle and Mount Rainier. Although there was a little sunshine, the clouds were very thick and there was still no blue sky and white clouds, but fortunately we did see Mount Rainier.

It's actually just a green area on the side of the road, but it has the best view in Seattle, with a panoramic view of the Space Needle and the entire scenery. Parking is possible on the side of the road, which is very convenient. A must-go for photography enthusiasts

Sleepless Seattle—How can you miss the night view when visiting Seattle? After dinner, we returned to the parking lot at Western Avenue below the market to pick up our car and head to Kerry Park. Kerry Park isn't really a park, but rather an observation deck nestled mid-mountain, offering the best views of downtown Seattle. From here, the Space Needle blends seamlessly into the city's skyscrapers. Surrounded by private villas, free roadside parking is available. Not many people were there at night, mostly photography enthusiasts, their cameras and cameras at the ready. Even in September, it was still quite chilly on the mountain at night, so a jacket was a good idea. I recommend good equipment for night photography; your phone is the best you can do, haha.

The park is located on a high ground, offering a great view of downtown Seattle, Lake Washington, and Puget Sound. Behind the park are villas owned by wealthy individuals, with the mountains behind and the sea in front, making it a truly prime location.

The park is small, but it is a great place to take pictures of the Space Needle and Mount Rainier. You can park on the roadside. It was a bit cold in the evening, but there were still many people on the platform.

We walked through a large residential area and climbed up the hill to Kerry Park. It didn't look too far, but the road was very steep. It was really a climb. Finally, we arrived. There were quite a few people there. It's not a big park, but an open space in a residential area. You can overlook the entire Seattle city and Mount Rainier in the distance. The scenery is very good. This is where the Seattle postcard photo is taken.

In the park, you can see the Space Needle and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Obviously, this is a landmark attraction.

In fact, Kerry Park itself is just a super small green space and there is no entrance fee. Unfortunately, after arriving at Kerry Park, clouds floated in the sky from nowhere, and the sunny day turned cloudy in the blink of an eye. It is said that on a clear and cloudless day you can see the snow-capped mountains on the horizon, but it seems there is no hope.

The Careys donated this private property to the city, so citizens can come to this observation deck and look at the city on the coast.

The view from the observation deck is really great. You can see the Space Needle and a little bit of the snow-capped mountains. If it were a different season or if there were fewer clouds, you might be able to see the entire snow-capped mountain.

Actually, this is not a tourist attraction, but it can be said to be one of the best photo taking and viewing spots in Seattle. Friends who are interested in photography should not miss it (the picture below was taken by me with my mobile phone, original picture)

The observation deck is a bit hard to climb up, but it is worth it. Especially for those who like photography

You can see the Space Needle, and the view is very beautiful when the weather is good. It is the filming location of Morning Seattle.

I thought it was a park, but it's actually just a basketball court-sized platform nestled among a cluster of villas on the hillside. Although small, it's the perfect spot for photographing Seattle's nightscape. 
Taking photos here not only allows you to capture downtown Seattle and the Space Needle, but also, on clear days, the summit of Mount Rainier. The postcard-worthy views of the Seattle Space Needle and Mount Rainier were both taken here. 

If you don't have enough time, you can ignore this attraction. You don't need to go to the Space Needle. It can't be considered a tourist attraction. The area is very small. If you want to take photos from a different angle, you can go and see it. But there are many other places and attractions in the whole city.

Great! I didn't get to visit the Space Needle today, so it's a blessing to be here. I was hoping to see all of Seattle! It's a shame the weather wasn't good, so I didn't see the snow-capped mountains! But the scenery on a rainy day is also unique. It's beautiful, and the air is even fresher. It's more like a Seattle landscape painting than a park. Kerry Park on a rainy day is as tranquil as a rabbit.

Kerry Park is mainly for viewing the downtown buildings of Seattle and the night view of Seattle. It is a classic filming location for Seattle.

Arriving at Kerry Park, you can enjoy the best view of the entire Seattle city. 
Looking out over the city from here, the Space Needle appears to blend in with the city's skyscrapers. 
The dark colors of Seattle are coated on the black and gray floors of skyscrapers, making the solemnity even more brilliant. 
The Space Needle's extremely smooth architectural style and snow-white walls suddenly appear particularly romantic against this background. 
This is also a must-see for photography enthusiasts to get the most panoramic view of Seattle, and the night view is even more beautiful. 

This is Seattle's most iconic filming location. It's really just an observation deck, not a huge park. The view of the Space Needle is particularly stunning from here. We walked there after a full meal, just thinking it was a stroll.

It's a very small park. In the summer, there are many people taking photos of the night view. But it is said that going on a rainy day will give you a different experience.

This is a small park in a residential area. If you go there in the morning, it's completely empty, so you can park anywhere. It was raining when I went, so a sunny day would probably make the view even better. It gets crowded in the evening, so be sure to get there early to secure a spot.

It's a great place to take panoramic photos of the Needle and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. My first visit was a bit disappointing. Parking is limited on the street, but people drive away quickly, so it's easy to find. Many postcards feature the Needle in the distance from here, so it's a great place to take a photo to commemorate your visit. There's a small children's playground on the lower slope of the park, with a long metal slide that the kids enjoyed.

This is the location where many postcards from Seattle were taken. It is called a park, but it is actually a viewing point overlooking the entire Seattle. We arrived in the afternoon and there were already several cameras set up there for taking pictures. We found a place to take a few random pictures, then went to a nearby coffee shop for afternoon tea and waited for nightfall to take pictures of the night view.

Unbeatable View, a must-see attraction. It is recommended to dress well in winter and bring hot water, waiting from sunset to dark, with a new view every few minutes.

It is the villa area on Kerry Mountain. The autumn scenery is great, but it was cloudy that day.

It takes about 25 minutes to walk from the Space Needle to Kerry Park. It's quite comfortable for two people to take a walk. Remember to be mentally prepared for a strong climb, a very high slope. Hahahahaha. But the sunset is really romantic and beautiful.

Seattle city photography locations, especially the night scenes.

It is actually an observation deck. When the weather is good, you can see the panoramic view of Seattle. The terrain is relatively high. You can drive all the way to the top of the mountain. It is recommended to go and see it. 

It's a great spot to see the whole city. You don't need to buy a ticket like the Space Needle. It's a blessing for budget travelers. You can see the city and the bay. It's close to the city center and you can walk there. From time to time, you will run into people taking wedding photos. There is a high-end residential area opposite, and you can sometimes hear party noises.

It's not quite the park you'd imagine... It's just a great photo spot on the side of a road halfway up a mountain... There's usually a bunch of photographers with professional cameras taking photos there regularly, and there's also a bunch of tourists and cars parked on the side of the road. It's a place where you can snap a photo in ten seconds and then leave...

A great park in Seattle for viewing the night view, where all the locals go to see it!

One of the filming locations of the famous movie "Sleepless in Seattle", it is worth visiting to see the night view

Carey Park is an excellent viewing point from which you can see the Space Needle, the Seattle cityscape, and even the snow-capped Mount Rainier in the distance.

Kerry Park is the best place to see the entire Seattle skyline. Although it's called a park, it's actually just a small observation deck. My boyfriend and I went there at night. Since we didn't know the way, we had to follow the navigation. We climbed up the hill, and when we arrived, we suddenly looked back and were stunned. It was truly amazing! It was absolutely stunning! If you enjoy night views, don't miss it!

You can see the Seattle Space Needle and the night view of the entire city ~ worth a visit

Kerry Park is the location for many Seattle postcards and is arguably the best place to take photos of the city. Not only can you capture the Space Needle, but if you're lucky, you might even get a shot of Mount Rainier. 
Kerry Park is located in a residential area of Seattle, halfway up a mountain. Only from this vantage point can you enjoy the beautiful scenery. 
After we finished dinner, a light drizzle had already started to fall in Yucheng, but we still decided to drive there because we didn’t want to miss the beautiful scenery. 
Kerry Park is a bit difficult to find; even after arriving at the location on Google Maps, I still had to walk a bit. It's called a park, but it's really just a large observation deck with a wide, unobstructed view. Facing the park is a large, beautiful house with three floors of floor-to-ceiling windows. Just imagine how blissful it would be to open the curtains every day and see such a beautiful view. It's truly amazing. 
Looking closely at the houses nearby, you can see that they are very large and beautifully decorated. You don’t have to guess that this is the wealthy area of Seattle. 

A great place to see the Seattle skyline, and it's free. The only downside is that it's often crowded and parking is scarce. Although it's called a park, it's really just a small observation deck, so finding a good spot for photos can be challenging.

A classic spot for panoramic views of Seattle. It's rarely visited because the park is small and surrounded by residential areas. Sit quietly in the park, enjoy the sunset, and wait for the sleepless night to arrive.

Panoramic view of Seattle. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the beautiful scenery of Seattle. The night view is also quite good.

It's not really a park, just a 30-square-meter green space. High up in the mountains, access is difficult due to the uphill slope, so a taxi is recommended and inexpensive. The view is excellent, with a clearing offering a view of Seattle at night.

It is actually a small flat land on a high ground, overlooking the whole of Seattle and Mount Rainier. I wanted to see the sunset and night view, but it happened to be foggy and visibility was too low, so I only saw the daytime view. It is still worth seeing when I pass by. I walked to the park from where I live in the morning. The surrounding houses are also very beautiful, all of them are mansions. 

Along the way, you can see the best part of Seattle in the past, with beautiful houses. The park is high up and you can see the entire city of Seattle.

This is the best place to take pictures of the Space Needle from a distance. Those who love photography can come here for a visit.

Seattle's night view is beautiful, and it looks great when you take photos with your phone

Kerry Park offers the best views of downtown Seattle. From here, the Space Needle blends seamlessly into the city's skyscrapers. Photography enthusiasts will appreciate this panoramic view of Seattle. Kerry Park is located in a hilltop residential area, surrounded by unique villas. Its tranquility stands in stark contrast to the overcrowding in China.

If you love night views, you must visit Kerry Park. It's called a park, but it's actually quite small, making it a prime spot for night photography. Many of the postcards are taken here. 
The area around here seems to be a residential area or a place with a lot of entertainment activities, so it gives people a feeling of being messy and unsafe. But in fact, it is still safe. 
It is recommended to bring a tripod for night photography. The surroundings are very dark, and the photo output rate is low. Portraits cannot be taken. 

A panoramic view of downtown Seattle, the night view is also nice~

I thought the scenery was just average. But since I'm in Seattle and there aren't many things to do, it might as well be worth a visit. You can get a panoramic view of Seattle, but the night view was just okay. Maybe it was because the weather was bad that night (?). If you like to see a place or a city from a high vantage point, you should definitely check it out. It's free, and it's not far from downtown, so you can walk there and explore the city while you're there. 

You can see the panoramic view of downtown, and it is a long slope that you need to walk up

We were at Queen Anne Hill, a great spot for viewing downtown Seattle. There were many beautiful, old houses on the hill, and no entrance fee was required; you could drive up. Kerry Park, a small observation deck, offered a breathtaking view of the city at night. The area was surrounded by residents, so the view was very pleasant.

Kerry Park offers a distant view of the city, and the houses nearby are very beautiful. 80 meters further ahead is another Marsell Park, which overlooks the Olympic Park and the port area and is not to be missed.

A great place to enjoy the night view. It's not far from the city center and can be reached by bus. It's located in an affluent area, so it's quite safe. It's also easy to take an Uber back home after enjoying the night view.

If you haven't been here, how dare you tell others that you have been to Seattle? One of the must-see attractions for those who come to Seattle. Here you can enjoy the panoramic view of Seattle.

You wouldn't recognize it as a park, but it's actually just an observation deck on a hillside in Seattle. The observation deck is on the side of the road and there's no public transportation. If you drive, you can park on the roadside. We went early, so there were still parking spaces. If you go later, it's hard to park. But if you wait a little longer, there are cars leaving. Most people just stop by and leave. There aren't many true photography enthusiasts. You can see the most beautiful night view of Seattle there, as well as the Rainier Snow Mountain in the distance. We arrived around 5 p.m. and started taking pictures of Seattle at dusk and sunset, then waited for the lights to turn on after dark to take pictures of Seattle at night. This is the best place to take representative photos of Seattle.

The observation deck is a great place to view the Seattle skyline. If the weather is good, you can also see Mt. Rainier. 
The wind was strong on the mountain, but it couldn't stop a group of enthusiasts holding large cameras next to us. Compared with them, we, who were shivering with our small phones and micro single cameras, looked quite unprofessional. 

I recommend visiting once during the day and once at night. It's perfect for taking photos, creating a different experience during the day and at night. It's best to watch the sunrise. When you go there, you'll see a lot of people waiting with their cameras and tripods. 
It’s called a park, but it’s actually just a small area for viewing the night view, but the scenery is really beautiful. 
When we arrived, we still couldn't find Kerry Park. When we got off the bus and looked back, we were like, "Oh my god, it's so beautiful! Everyone must go." It's also a bit chilly at night, so dress warmly. 
Across the road from Kerry Park is a large residential building, and people living here can see this view every day when they open their windows. 

If you want a panoramic view of Seattle, this is the right place to go, and you can do it for free. There's a line for the Space Needle, and tickets are expensive. The main attraction is the iconic Space Needle and Mount Rainier. The view of the city from the Space Needle isn't much different from what you'd see in Taipei or Tokyo. 
Kerry Park, Seattle's oldest residential area and a high point outside the city, offers the best views of the entire city. The famous Space Needle shimmers in the night. This iconic Seattle landmark, built during the World's Fair, stands 520 feet tall. Take the elevator to its observation deck for panoramic views of Seattle and Mount Rainier. Seattle isn't a big city, so you can see the Space Needle multiple times a day. There's a McDonald's nearby for breakfast. This photo was taken at 5:00 AM by 6D. 

There is another place in Seattle where you can also overlook the night view of the city. It is called Kerry Park. It should be considered a small observation deck. There are residents nearby and the environment is very good.

Each of the surrounding villas is unique, and the tranquility here is in stark contrast to the overcrowding in China.

In the evening, we came to Kerry Park, the best place to see the scenery of Seattle city, like Jingshan in Beijing. From morning to night, there are many professionals taking pictures here.

The park is on a small hill, which is the best place to overlook the night view of Seattle city. When we went there at night, there were quite a lot of tourists watching the night view together. 

After dinner, we went to Kerry Park, which everyone recommended, to see the night view. It was very beautiful.

Kelly Park is actually a street garden with a small square. It has the best views and can capture the entire Seattle city and Mount Rainier, so it is always the most attractive! Fortunately, I came in the afternoon when the sun was high. If it was in the evening, more people would come to take pictures of the night view.

Kerry Park isn't really a park, just a small viewing platform with a few chairs. Taking photos of the Space Needle from Kerry Park is pretty good, but unfortunately, there were some pink clouds on the other side that day. If you were right behind the Space Needle, it would have been amazing.

A great place to see the Seattle Space Needle and panoramic views. A mecca for photography enthusiasts. Be sure to go on a sunny day.

If you want to go to Kerry Park to watch the sunrise, it is best to go after April because before April it is the rainy season and you may not be able to see the sun in the morning. 
The park is free and accessible by foot with a small slope. 
The security around the park is very good. 

The best photo spot in Seattle. Because of the high altitude, I was exhausted from walking all the way up. But it is worth it.

After enjoying the delicious food, we naturally wanted to see the night view of this city that never sleeps. We took a panoramic photo from the hillside of Kerry Park, where we could take a photo of Seattle's iconic building, the Seattle Needle. This city that never sleeps is brightly lit at night.

There is no better place to see the panoramic view of Seattle from the mountain. You should come here twice a day and night to see the panoramic view of Seattle during the day and at night.

It's not really a park, but it's located on the side of a road at the highest point in Seattle. It's a viewing platform. The night view is nice, but I wonder what it's like during the day.

The view from the observation deck is pretty good, overlooking downtown Seattle, the Space Needle, and the sea. 
I thought it would be a big park like Stanly Park covering 6070 acres... But... it turned out to be an observation deck... An observation deck... So that's it... But the scenery here is still good, you can overlook downtown Seattle, the Space Needle and the sea 

It only takes about 5 minutes to drive to Kerry Park from the city center. From here, you can have a panoramic view of Seattle's central buildings such as Mount Rainier and the Space Needle, and the night view is especially beautiful.

We all found it odd to call it a park, since it's not really a park at all, just a small square on a hilltop in the middle of a residential area. Actually, it's not that small. Haha. Anyway, it's free and beautiful!
After getting off the bus, it's a short walk to the park at the top of the mountain. There are many people sitting there enjoying the view. The skyscrapers and the Space Needle form a perfect silhouette in the distance, while the snow-capped Mount Rainier in the distance reveals its majestic form beneath the clouds.
Walking down from the top of the mountain, the winding path gradually extends to the distant seashore. Behind the rows of roofs is a blue sea.
