If your out-of-town visitors are looking for the classic Seattle skyline photo, Don Armeni is the place to go. The park’s location at the Duwamish head in West Seattle makes it one of the best spots in Seattle for capturing views.
Depending on where you–or your photo-happy friends–stand, you can see downtown Seattle and the quintessential white and green ferries that make up the backdrop of so many tourist photos. Or, you can walk a little south and have the islands and Olympics as your setting. A little further north and you’ll catch glimpses of Mount Rainier and the West Seattle Bridge on a clear day.
This park is also a popular boat launch site. Fishermen and fisherwomen like its easy access to good waters just off the shore.
Whether its fish or photos, Don Armeni draws visitors year-round.

It’s a great boat ramp. Easy to launch our Ranger 17 back in the day for a good day fishing.
