We’ve all seen it in the movies. The lovebird couple takes a drive up to the bluff that overlooks the whole city. They park right on the edge and admire the view (both of the city and of each other). Lights sparkle in the distant valley below. Stars twinkle in the clear sky above. If you’re like me, you always wondered—where on earth is that park? And where can I find a date to take there?The answer to the first question: Kerry Park. It’s a strip of land on the south slope of Queen Anne Hill, at the corner of 2nd Avenue W. and Highland Drive. When you just don’t feel like ending the date quite yet, take the drive to Kerry Park. The view is absolutely breathtaking. You will see all of Seattle, including the Space Needle, Key Arena, and various other landmarks on your left. On your right you’ll see the vast expanse of Puget Sound, complete with ferries coming and going. And if you make it to the park before sunset, you can even catch a glimpse of majestic Mt. Rainier towering above the horizon. It’s the perfect quiet place to
kick back and get to know each other a little better.Don’t worry, there’s also plenty of fun to be had nearby if the park gets too quiet for you. My suggestion is Ozzie’s, just down the hill on Mercer—it’s got nightly karaoke and a 3:30-6:30 pm happy hour that provides a magnificent dive-bar atmosphere. It’s a great place to spend a casual weeknight, or to experience the weekend party life.
