By far one of my favorite viewpoints of Seattle!! Kerry Park is a must stop if you are in the…read moreSeattle area. A couple things to consider as you are planning your trip to Kerry Park: 1) the park is located on a extremely steep hill (you can definitely walk to it, but you'll likely be exhausted walking all the way up to the top from lower Queen Anne), 2) if you are driving it may take some time to find parking as the park is tucked away in a neighborhood, and 3) Mount rainier is viewable from the park on a clear day, you'll want to stop by on a sunny and clear day if possible (the view is still beautiful if the weather is overcast, but it's even better if it's sunny and clear). When you arrive to Kerry Park you'll be greeted with a postcard perfect view of Seattle/the puget sound, and a relaxing atmosphere. It can get busy but spots will naturally open up where you can take photos. I'd recommend going close to sunset if you can time it. Btw, if you are a Grey's anatomy fan some of the house filmed at are tucked away in the Queen Anne neighborhood.

It's all quite a bit cleaner than you might expect from a lawn with big willow trees barely a foot out of the water.

With easy access to the water, I can get my feet wet or jump in to cool off in the summer and make my dog splash around when he's hot.

The only con is the noise of the freeway, but I am easily able to look over that when the sun is out.

It's really an important part of the neighborhood and is very bustling every time I go through it. It's an exciting place to go also as there are festivals, demonstrations, artists popping up with their work as you stroll through. Yes, this park is full of life. Perhaps it's too much for some people as it isn't always the most quietest place but the water features (sometimes with ducks) are quite pleasant and if you are into sports there seems to be a good area for that as well. But as I said I enjoy most of all the people watching as it is diverse and eclectic.
