April 2024 A-Z Challenge: U.S. Travel Chronicles [Kerry Park]

#234



Located on the south slope of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington, Kerry Park offers an unparalleled view of Downtown Seattle. People flock to this small public park to view the city’s iconic skyline, with the Space Needle standing tall on the left, the majestic Mount Rainier in the middle, and Elliott Bay on the right.


Despite the lack of public restrooms and the struggle to find free street parking nearby, people especially tourists remain undeterred and you’ll often find clear, non-cloudy evenings at this park to be crowded. Last Friday, though the sky was covered with dark gray clouds as you can see in the picture above, I was able to capture a decent photo of the skyline with Mt. Rainier gracing the background. It was a miracle for it to be visible amidst dense clouds.   


The neighborhood around this area of West Seattle is filled with beautiful mansion-like houses. I bet they’d be expensive though, as you might not get to enjoy a view like that every day without paying a hefty price for it!


We’ve visited Kerry Park more than a few times now, as it has become a typical tourist attraction. We take our friends and family there, each time someone visits us, and none of them have returned disappointed.


For those visiting, Kerry Park is a must-see attraction, perfect for capturing stunning photos and creating everlasting Seattle / Washington memories.
