Olympic Sculpture Park — Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Let’s start big picture. What’s the vibe here? An offshoot of the Seattle Art Museum perched on the northern edge of downtown, the park's paths wind down toward Elliott Bay through nine acres of artwork from local and internationally renowned artists. Any standout features or must-sees? Alexander Calder's "Eagle" overlooking the water provides one of the city's most iconic views, particularly during the sunset. Teresita Fernandez's “Seattle Cloud Cover” beautifully links the natural atmosphere of the park to the man-made art, and Jaume Plensa's waterfront “Echo” is simply mesmerizing. Was it easy to get around? Despite the large surface area, smooth paths and ample ramps make it easy to navigate. While little information is provided at the various sculptures, the downloadable map and guide on the park's website helps with context. All said and done, what—and who—is this best for? Admission is free and a visit can be a quick stop for a few photos, or a leisurely stop for a picnic." - Naomi Tomky
