The Experience
Before You Go
Meet at Kerry Park
Arrive 10 minutes early to secure the classic viewpoint and avoid tour overlap; the guide will meet you by the main viewpoint stairs.
Dress in layers
Seattle weather shifts quickly near the water — bring a light jacket or windbreaker even on sunny days.
Charge your camera/phone
Battery and storage fill up fast when taking skyline and low-light shots; bring a portable charger if you plan lots of photos.
Use public transit for convenience
Streetcars and buses serve Lower Queen Anne; consider public transit or a short rideshare to avoid parking hassles.
