If you need a nice landscape view of Seattle downtown from west Seattle but don’t want spend hours finding a parking space at Alki beach, Hamilton’s view point park is a good alternative park for Alki.
Pro: Much less crowded than Alki. You can find a parking space here easily and enjoy the great Seattle downtown view. The park is on the top of hill, so you can view the Cascade mountain clearly as well.
Con: At summer time some trees might block you view; there is a fence that easily show up in your pictures; you can’t feel all the vibe in Alki; from time to time there are some people smoking weed in the parking lot with strong scent which is very annoying and not family friendly. The local police should definitely increase the patrol here.

Our friend wanted to visit this viewpoint because she had never been. It was certainly worth it. We didn’t get a chance to drive up to the top but we parked on the street right next to the oceanfront. The path looked lengthy and we spent about 30 minutes on part of the path. We got to take in the beautiful open scenery of the Seattle cityscape perfect for panoramic pictures and selfies. As we walked towards the curve of the road we approached a square-​shaped area with several benches. This area would be great for large families wanting to relax on the benches and take in the scenery or view any walruses in the distance that surface.
Parking: accessible and plentiful on a Sunday afternoon
Things to do: scenic walk, picturesque photo spots, jogging path, relax on benches
Memorable Moment: Zoning out and relaxing to the steady ins and outs of the water current splashing against the rocks

Amazing viewpoint of the city from here. For some reason though, I didn’t see many non-​locals there but I think most people just get off the Water Taxi and stay on the beach and aren’t aware of this. For my purpose of wanting to take night photos, I opted to go to the beach after spending some time here but if you’re in town with nice clear weather, you can see everything from there.

Certainly a great view of the city from here. Must be really pretty here at night too. This park is fairly empty compared with the madness of Alki beach. Highly recommend a visit before heading to Alki beach. Free parking and no entry fee.

Great place to get a panoramic view of Seattle. It tends to be colder here so bring a sweater and enjoy the view!

I love this place. In the evening, i sometimes park and just look at the scenery and relax after a stressful day. I work late so it helps. I have done this for years. It makes for a good zen moment. Too bad it isn’t open later due to I work pretty late a lot of times. One of west seattle’s great places :)

Stunning view of downtown Seattle, the sound and Cascade mountains.
This park has some lawn and parking, it’s meant to be a stop just for the view. It’s really beautiful. At night the lights are gorgeous of downtown. During the daytime, it’s gorgeous as well and very calming for me to watch the boats move in and out of port.
This park is at the north end of California, overlooking Alki Beach.

Petit parc offrant une vue magnifique de tout downtown !
Vous pouvez même apprécier la vue depuis votre voiture, sinon il y a une grande pelouse et aussi quelques bancs.
Le soir, ce lieu rassemble les jeunes et les travailleurs qui viennent de terminer leur journée de travail pour venir respirer et profiter du coucher de soleil.

Hamilton Viewpoint Park is located just above Alki. Drive down California Ave in West Seattle towards Alki to find it. The park makes for a nice pit stop before driving down to Alki Beach located just below this viewpoint via a winding road. If you are driving to the viewpoint from Alki, make a left turn up the road after passing Marination Ma Kai.
The view here is similar to what you would find at Alki except that you get a higher elevation view which makes for a slightly better shot. There are some public telescopes at this viewpoint also. Not much seating here. I guess you could have a picnic on the grass here, but I would prefer doing that at Alki instead.
If you are looking for a spot in West Seattle to get great shots of the Seattle skyline, check out Hamilton Viewpoint.

Hamilton Viewpoint Park has been a favorite place of mine since I was a teenager. Nothing like a city night skyline view in your first car with your date looking out at the city. Got the mood music on, windows steamed up and from there its all good! Thanks for those memory’s girls!
Now the daytime view is also spectacular, just not as romantic «WINK WINK». If your photographing the city I would say this location is one of the top 3 places in Seattle. And anything else is going on that’s your business.
I’ve given you to much info already, so create your own memories and stop reading mine.

Awesome park with guns a lot of paths to get lost on thankful for the fellow hiker #Sarah I met with her dog I just walked with them and thankful because I could have got lost I thought the trail went in a circle it does not. Sarah said if you get lost look for the H. S or open road! This is so close to mi casa its my new favorite neighborhood spot

This is one of my favorite places to enjoy the view of Seattle and to be by myself to reflect on things when I want to be alone.
The view of Alki and from Shilshole to Mt. Rainier is spectacular on a sunny day. Back in the day I would come here with my boyfriend, now husband, often during the evenings when we didn’t want to go home just yet. The parking lot gets packed during the evenings and the Seattle police will kick you out by 11:30 pm so don’t think you can stay past that time.
Come by on a weekday if you don’t want to be surrounded by tourists.

We went to Hamilton Park AFTER visiting Kerry Park and we’re so glad we did. The sun was perfect for taking pictures and we still got a wonderful backdrop of the Space Needle and Downtown Seattle. Also, we were able to drive along West Seattle, stop by Salty’s for a snack – great view of Seattle while sipping a cocktail), and then grab a really good burger at Luna Park Café (their shakes are homemade! – you gotta try them out!)
Great place to take tourists for a different view of Seattle, as well as a different non-​touristy tour of West/​Seattle.
Really, check it out!

I love this park so much because the juxtaposition of our natural beauty smacks right up against the urban pretty. Always a spectacular view of the city, day or night. On a clear day, it’ll remind you why you love our fair city. Take out-​of-​towners here or just cruise by to sneak a peak. There’s usually spots open, people take their photographs and mosey along pretty quickly.
One Unilocaler mentioned the patrolling — yes, take heed of the posted closing time so you are not unceremoniously booted from the park. They stay open fairly late though so just be mindful and keep your music lower. Don’t be THAT guy, okay?

My sister knows the best places for scenery! On her birthday, we drove over to Alki right before dinner. There’s no parking whatsoever. Therefore, she recommended this park for us to chill before dinner. It was a great spot.
It’s higher up from the beach. There are parking in front of the viewpoint. It’s very similar to Kerry Park but with more parking and different view. The city view from West Seattle is beautiful. I really enjoy it!
If you are thinking about the night view-​sighting, make sure you come here before 11:30PM. That’s when the park closes. There will be patrol coming if you are around after hour.

I’d lived in Seattle for well over a year before I ever came out to the Alki area, not knowing what I was missing out on. This is just one of the many areas along the East shore of West Seattle from which you can see Downtown Seattle. I’d highly recommend coming here at night on a clear day for an unparalleled view of the nighttime cityscape.

It’s all about the view. I can, and do, sit and stare for hours at the mountain, the shipping lanes, the cruise ships, ferries, and cargo ships, all the activity in the port, and the city from Beacon Hill to Magnolia. Truly one of the most picturesque and complete views you can get of the city anywhere other than in an aircraft. It never gets old.

Too bad the park is not very big. Billy, the Jack Russell, was done exploring it in 5 minutes. Come here purely for the views. This is a great spot to take a photo with the Seattle skyline behind you.
As far as the park itself, it’s very average. There are average benches, average trees, and an average parking lot. If you’re not extremely attached to getting a direct view of the city, then try Gas Works Park.

Why not hit another view point. I stopped in at Hamilton Viewpoint with my parents so they could see yet another spectacular view of downtown Seattle. There’s plenty of parking, benches and a beautiful lawn to relax and have a picnic on. One of the great things about the Hamilton Viewpoint is that it allows you to see Seattle’s natural beauty along with it’s urban beauty. You have a eye-​catching view of the downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, the port and the Cascade Mountains.
It’s kind of a secret spot but not that secret because many times I’ve come to relax and enjoy the view only to find a weddings taking place. If you’re looking to have an outdoor wedding with downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, the port and the Cascade Mountains as your back ground this might be the spot for you, just don’t take up all the room because I do like to come here to relax sometimes.
