Downtown Seattle from Kerry Park

This view of downtown Seattle is taken from Queen Anne Hill at Kerry Park. This park was given to the city in 1927 for all those to enjoy. The 605 foot Space Needle, which opened for the 1962 World's Fair, can be seen in the center. Elliott Bay is on the right, while Mt. Mount Rainier can slightly be seen in the background at 14,411 feet.
