Top places to take photos in Seattle area.
by
Seattle has so many great places to take photographs, so creating a list that everyone can agree on is almost impossible. Being a lifelong Seattleite, I have been shooting around the city since I was 15 and with the running of a photography tour company, I am always on the lookout for all things photographic. Some of these locations are outside the city limits, but if you have a rental car, they are worth the effort to get to the locations listed below. This list with detailed places to shoot and driving directions are available at http://www.shuttertours.com/archives/719
Pupu Point in Issaquah
Pu Pu Point is the jumping off location for paragliders. With it’s breathtaking view of Lake Sammamish, makes for a great backdrop with the colorful paragliders
Snoqualmie Falls in Snoqualmie
Snoqualmie Falls is one of the most popular attractions in Washington State next to Mt. Ranier and Seattle’s Pike Place market. About 45 minutes from Seattle
Columbia Tower in Seattle
I think this is better than the Space Needle for the view and cost of only $6.00
Beacon Hill in Seattle
For another great view of the city, that takes in the Seahawks and Mariners stadiums as well as the skyline, the view from Beacon Hill is outstanding.
Gas Works Park in Seattle
It’s a nice place to shoot your loved ones or an aspiring model with it’s multiple vantage points of the city as well as the park itself.
Seattle Central Library in Seattle
Walking into the main floor, you almost feel as if you are on the deck of a mother ship in some futuristic movie or in the middle of a big glass iceberg.
Pioneer Square in Seattle
Pioneer Square is what Seattle may have looked like 80-100 years ago. Many of the old buildings are still there and it is rich in textures and architecture.
Seattle Center in Seattle
With the EMP, Space Needle and various fountains and architecture, you’ll have great fun exploring the center grounds.
Kerry Park in Seattle
Kerry Park is probably the most picturesque location in all of Seattle. Having a combination of the Space Needle, skyline and Mt. Rainer as its backdrop.
Pike Place Market in Seattle
10 million people a year cannot be wrong, Pike Place Market is the most popular place to visit and I think the most interesting to photograph.
