Elliott Bay Marina
Elliott Bay Marina sits along the Seattle waterfront in Interbay, offering a compelling mix of sailboat masts, wooden docks, and open water with the Olympic Mountains to the west and, on clear days, Mount Rainier rising dramatically to the southeast. Walk out onto the docks for tight compositions framing boats against the skyline, or step back toward the shore to capture wide shots with the marina in the foreground and the mountains behind. The west end of the marina gives you cleaner views toward the Olympics, while the east end works well for city skyline shots with boats in the foreground. Golden hour light in the late afternoon warms the hull colors and creates strong reflections on the water. A wide zoom in the 24-70mm range handles most situations here, and the docks are generally accessible and flat, making it easy to explore multiple angles. (Seattle, Washington, United States)
