Known forhistoricscenicgreen spacearchitecture
A grand Olmsted-designed park anchoring Capitol Hill with a Victorian conservatory, water tower with panoramic views, and the Seattle Asian Art Museum on its grounds. Climb the 1906 water tower for a 360-degree city and mountain view that rivals Kerry Park without the crowds. The conservatory is a hidden gem for rainy days. Weekends draw a lively mix of locals but it rarely feels overwhelming.
