Seattle Viewpoints
Map of West Seattle
List with Go Northwest!
The Views
Jutting out into Puget Sound,
on the opposite side of Elliott Bay from downtown, West Seattle offers
views in all directions. Great viewpoints are to be found both on
the edge of the peninsula at water level, and on the ridge above. A chain of public access spaces
skirt West Seattle along the water's edge, stretching from Terminal 5 to
Emma Schmitz overlook and beyond. With Alki Beach Park as their
centerpiece, these make West Seattle a popular outdoor destination in
summer.
From downtown, bus routes 56 and
37 are a good way to access these viewpoints. Although it has an irregular
timetable, route 37 is a great way to take a "self-guided" tour
of West Seattle's scenic waterfront.
