Scenic overlook
This overlook sits along the Seattle to Bainbridge Island byway at 76 feet elevation, facing 240 degrees, with the land dropping 85 feet within 600 meters of the site. Seattle lies 1.1 miles southeast. The nearest points in view are to the west and southwest: Pier 70 Viewpoint at 0.4 miles and 9 feet elevation, and Bay Street End at 0.5 miles and 18 feet, both offering low coastal vantage points along the water. Further southwest, at roughly 2.1 to 2.3 miles, a cluster of features appears, including Don Armeni Boat Ramp, Luna Park Pier, Seacrest Park, and Fairmount Avenue Southwest Street End, along with Marshall Reserve and Hamilton Viewpoint Park, which sit higher at 169 and 235 feet respectively. To the west-northwest, Elliott Bay Overlook and the 30th and 32nd Avenue West street ends appear between 2.5 and 2.6 miles out. The facing direction points toward sunset, about 30 degrees off square, meaning sunset light crosses the view rather than sitting directly ahead. Sunset times range from 16:21 in December to 21:12 in June. The next lookout along the route is Pier 70 Viewpoint, 0.4 miles to the west.
