Where's a good outdoorsy night spot in Seattle?

August 16, 2013 8:40 PM

I'm in Seattle with a friend for the weekend. It's 8:30. We're looking to wander a bit tonight, hopefully outside, hopefully with a good view of the city or some impressive natural phenomenon. Any suggestions?

We're open for a little exploring or adventuring. We have a car and a GPS, and no real time we need to be home. (Or if that's too specific -- maybe just a fun night out...!)

Thanks all! I appreciate it.

Kerry Park in Queen Anne is the typical "postcard view" of Seattle.

Volunteer Park in Capitol Hill is very picturesque, albeit more cultivated than "natural".

Golden Gardens in Ballard is a great place to watch sailboats and the sunset. Afterward you could go to Ray's Cafe for dessert.

Gasworks Park.

Hempfest is going on this minute near the downtown waterfront which might hit all of your desires for an adventure, interesting night out, and views (both natural and otherwise).

Response by poster: Thanks all. Ended up doing Aiki Beach, which was perfect.
