Fun Facts

Located on the west side of Queen Anne Hill, Rotary Viewpoint provides a panoramic view of the city, including the iconic Space Needle and downtown skyscrapers.

The viewpoint was established by the Rotary Club of Seattle in 1962 as a public space for residents and visitors to enjoy the city's natural beauty.

It is situated within the larger Kerry Park, which is a popular spot for photographers capturing Seattle's skyline.

The viewpoint features a sculpture called 'Changing Form' by artist Doris Totten Chase, which was installed in 1971 and has become a recognizable landmark.

The elevated location makes it an ideal place to view the Fourth of July and New Year's Eve fireworks over the city.

There are several plaques that provide historical information about the area and the Rotary Club's contributions to the community.
