A list of items I may be visiting over the next year to meet the Photo of the Day commitment.

The view features the Space Needle, Puget Sound, Bainbridge Island, and the Olympic mountains on a clear day and you can see some of it in the nighttime as well.

A beautiful place day or night a real gem in the city.
