Location: West Seattle
Address: 3600 Admiral Way S.W.
Acreage: 4.2
It’s hard to concentrate on staying on the road when you drive Admiral Way and catch a glimpse of the incredible view from this park out your window. This West Seattle park, like Hamilton Viewpoint, is a great place to try to impress out-of-town visitors.
You also won’t be able to miss the 25-foot-tall totem pole. The original totem was donated by the owner of the Ye Olde Curiosity Shop that sits on Seattle’s waterfront. I guess he wanted to see his gift across the water in West Seattle.
Unfortunately, it had to be replaced due to decay. The replica was designed by Michael Halady, a descendant of Chief Sealth.
