Olympic Sculpture Park

One of the city’s must-see attractions opened in 2007 on a nine-acre site overlooking Puget Sound at the north end of the Seattle waterfront. Free to the public and open seven days a week, the Olympic Sculpture Park is an alfresco offshoot of the Seattle Art Museum with a stellar collection of outdoor sculptures by the likes of Alexander Calder, Richard Serra, Claes Oldenburg, and Roxy Paine. The panoramic view of the Sound, the Olympic Mountains and, when the weather cooperates, the snow-white peak of Mount Rainier adds to the pleasure. An indoor café serves homemade soups, panini sandwiches and a full menu of lattes and desserts.
