The Classic Shots You Can’t Head Home Without

Pike Place Market

Tourist trap it might be, but check out fresh fish and flowers for some cool close-ups.  Want the famous “Pike Place Market” sign in the background?  Catch it from Pike Street and 1st Ave.

The Space Needle’s Sky View Observatory

You can’t go home without a picture of the Space Needle.  Get one from Seattle Center for a close up shot.

Kerry Park

You can capture the Space Needle, the skyline, and Mount Ranier all in one shot from here.  Definitely on my list for next time!

The Parks

Gas Works Park

Catch the plant during The Golden Hour for some cool shots!

Discovery Park

A photographer favorite!  Get some really great beachside shots here.

Olympic Sculpture Park

We didn’t make it to this green grassy park, but it’s on my list for next time.

From a Harbor Cruise

You can get some cool shots of the Space Needle and Seattle’s City Skyline from the Argosy Harbor Cruise tour boat, plus it’s a fun and informative ride.

 

What’s Trending Now

The Great Wheel

On Seattle’s Waterfront, you will likely head over here anyway for a boat tour or casual seafood dining.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

The greenhouse is filled with instagramers more interested in taking pics than admiring the gorgeous glass art.

Ballard Locks

Play around with angles and get creative here.

 

With some careful planning, you will be able to get all of the shots of Seattle you’ve been dying for!
