A Port of Seattle park with a 45-foot observation tower over Elliott Bay: gulls, herons, and Ospreys against the container cranes, with the downtown skyline across the water. The industrial backdrop is half the charm, and the tower gives a vantage no other West Seattle spot has.
Terns return to the harbor; Ospreys to the cranes.
Ospreys fish the bay all day.
Murres and grebes filter into the harbor.
Rafts of divers off the tower.
