One of the most visited parks in Seattle, Discovery park offers plethora of opportunities for a photographer.

One of the most popular spots within this park is West Point Lighthouse at the very tip of the park. It is an amazing location to capture sunset colors.

Be prepared for a approximately 1.5 mile walk (one way). Despite the fact that you will see a road leading directly to the lighthouse on a map, this location can only be reached by foot. Special permission is required for those who wish to park in the very small parking lot near the lighthouse and is usually only granted to families with small children.

If you are visiting for sunset, make sure to bring a headlamp or flashlight. Light are limited through the park and you will navigate the trails in dark.

Photography Tips

This location works great at sunset but it is worth visiting at any time of the day.
