The absolute best place to go in Seattle for views of the city is Kerry Park located on Queen Anne Hill. A lot of the pictures and video clips you've seen for sporting events in Seattle are taken from Kerry Park. We've been to Kerry Park before when we visited in May of 2006, but we hadn't been there since we moved here. A few weeks ago when it was really clear outside, we went to Kerry Park close to sunset and took a bunch of video and pictures. When we left the apartment, I didn't know that it was clear enougb to see Mount Rainier in the distance, so I was really excited to see the mountain when we got there. Mount Rainier is 54 miles southeast of Seattle and it's the most prominent mountain in the contiguous 48 states with a prominence of 13,210 feet. From Kerry Park, it looks just as tall as some of the taller buildings and it really stands out behind the skyline. You can't see it that often and so it was cool to get pictures of it for the first time. After we stayed there for about 30 minutes, we decided to go home for a while and then go back when it was dark so we could take pictures of the city at night with the tripod. So, here are our pictures and video of beautiful Seattle from Kerry Park.
