For Seattle this is definitely the Space Needle &#8211; the tower, everyone associates with the NorthWestern American city, located in Washington State. Going up the Space Needle and viewing the cityscape, waterfront and surrounding islands from the 360-degree platform is one of Seattle\u00b4s most popular tourist attractions. The best thing upfront: To avoid long queues, you can get tickets online in advance for going up during a specific timeslot. Once you have reached the top, you can stay as long as you want \u2013 which is not self-evident on all the towers in the US, from what I have heard. So it\u00b4s seemingly worth going up Seattle\u00b4s landmark, even if <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/web.ticket.spaceneedle.com\/?site=sn-topnav\" target=\"_blank\">ticket prices<\/a> of almost 40 US Dollars (for adults) aren\u00b4t low. Nevertheless there are also many other stunning vistas of Seattle from different locations throughout the city, where you don\u00b4t have to spend any of your money at all. Many of them are completely free of charge or only require an affordable transportation ticket. And maybe you also want to catch a view including Seattle\u00b4s iconic tower. That\u00b4s actually what I prefer most of the time: Checking out the city\u00b4s landmarks from a distance rather than standing on top of them&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"View of Seattle Space Needle from Kerry Park\"  class=\"wp-image-25826 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_KerryPark-9-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_KerryPark-9-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_KerryPark-9-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_KerryPark-9-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_KerryPark-9-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_KerryPark-9.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_KerryPark-9-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Inhaltsverzeichnis | Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d36e1a2eb58\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #00a499;color:#00a499\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #00a499;color:#00a499\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d36e1a2eb58\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/en\/america\/usa\/washington\/seattle-best-views\/#1-space-needle-seattle-center\" >#1 Space Needle, Seattle Center<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/en\/america\/usa\/washington\/seattle-best-views\/#2-kerry-park-queen-ann\" >#2 Kerry Park, Queen Ann<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/en\/america\/usa\/washington\/seattle-best-views\/#3-waterfront-pier-66-downtown-seattle\" >#3 Waterfront &amp; Pier 66, Downtown Seattle<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/en\/america\/usa\/washington\/seattle-best-views\/#4-west-seattle\" >#4 West Seattle<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/en\/america\/usa\/washington\/seattle-best-views\/#5-gas-works-park-lake-union\" >#5 Gas Works Park, Lake Union<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/en\/america\/usa\/washington\/seattle-best-views\/#6-downtown-seattle\" >#6 Downtown Seattle<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/en\/america\/usa\/washington\/seattle-best-views\/#7-dr-jose-rizal-bridge-beacon-hill\" >#7 Dr. Jose Rizal Bridge, Beacon Hill<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-space-needle-seattle-center\"><\/span>#1 Space Needle, Seattle Center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As exciting as the views from the top might appear, I often find it more appealing to discover different perspectives of the most recognizable monuments on my own, while strolling around the city.

Honestly speaking, I was a little surprised how tiny Kerry Park actually is. It\u00b4s only a small green strip rather than a wide-spread park, where you would like to spend your time. Not sure how the residents of the pricy and exclusive villas feel about the crowds arriving in front of their doorsteps on a daily basis. The good part: Most visitors don\u00b4t stay for too long, just snap their shot and are gone again. But if weather allows, I would recommend to arrive in the late afternoon and stay until sunset. There can definitely be some surprises while clouds formate, birds cross the way and the sky slowly but surely turns pink. If you are lucky, even the silhouette of Mount Rainier might appear, after hiding in the clouds earlier on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"

nature, you can also take the water taxi from Colman Dock to Brainbridge Island (30 minutes), which will transport you directly from the inner city limits into the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

couldn\u00b4t really figure what was supposed to be so special about Gas Works Park, even after receiving it as a recommendation from all sides. Now after having been there, it still hasn\u00b4t become my favourite spot, but that\u00b4s probably more due to the poor weather conditions while we were visiting. In fact Gas Works Park is a former major gas manufacturing plant, which got shut down after Seattle had moved on to alternative energy sources in the late 1950s. From Kite Hill you can spot the abandoned giant metal constructions (which of course had been cleaned of all the toxic substances), as well as Seattle\u00b4s cityscape on the other side of Union Lake. Imagining this view during a warm and sunny day, I can now understand a bit better why people love to come here for picnics, to hang out and enjoy the view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"653\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Seattle Gas Works Park\"  class=\"wp-image-25808 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-4-1160x653.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-4-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-4-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-4-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-4-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-4.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-4-1320x743.jpg 1320w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; cursor: text; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\">Fun fact: From here you can also spot the \u00b4floating homes, which got famous by the Hollywood romance &#8220;Sleepless in Seattle&#8221; , with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks back in the days.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"653\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Gas Works Park Seattle best views\"  class=\"wp-image-25804 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-2-1160x653.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-2-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-2-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-2-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-2-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_GasWorksPark-2-1320x743.jpg 1320w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-downtown-seattle\"><\/span>#6 Downtown Seattle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Downtown Seattle is a great place to be for those, who love the big city lights and highrise buildings.

You can cross Dr. Jose Rizal Bridge by foot and look straight down to multi-track highways merging into each other. This might already be thrilling enough for those of you being scared of heights. If this isn\u00b4t your kind of thing, you can continue walking uphill towards the former US Marine Hospital Building to a viewpoint overlooking the downtown highrise buildings. In my opinion the view from Dr. Jose Rizal Bridge with the highway lanes underneath offers you by far the best perspective, especially around sunset with the constant stream of passing cars right in front of you, plus the citylights in the background starting to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Dr. Jose Rizal Bridge, Seattle&#039;s best views\"  class=\"wp-image-25800 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-5-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-5-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-5-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-5-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-5-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-5-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1440\"  height=\"1920\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  data-id=\"25793\"  class=\"wp-image-25794 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-2.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-2.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-2-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-2-1160x1547.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-2-320x427.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-2-560x747.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-2-1320x1760.jpg 1320w\" ><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1536\"  height=\"1920\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  data-id=\"25791\"  class=\"wp-image-25792 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-1.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-1-800x1000.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-1-1160x1450.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-1-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-1-560x700.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_DrJoseRizalBridge-1-1320x1650.jpg 1320w\" ><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>QUESTIONS &amp; COMMENTS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Have you ever been to <a href=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/category\/amerika\/usa\/washington\/\">Washington State<\/a> and explored bustling <a href=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/category\/amerika\/usa\/washington\/seattle\/\">Seattle<\/a>? <strong>Leave me a comment! <\/strong>Do you like the article, or still have any suggestions, feedback or recommendations?
