List with Go Northwest!
The Views
Rizal Park offers 90�
views over Elliot Bay, the Port of Seattle, I-5, and the southern side of
downtown. A funny thing about the angle on downtown, is that the
Space Needle is hidden from view. But there is a lovely shot of the
Smith Building.
In
the middle-distance, you can see the roadway spaghetti that is the
juncture of I-5 and I-90.
Best
time for photos is in the AM.
The following photos were taken
late morning, on a slightly hazy, sunny day in late March. Click on photo for
