The view of downtown Seattle from atop the historic Volunteer Park Water Tower is an experience in itself. Build in 1906 CE, the Water Tower stands an overall elevation of 520 foot (158.5 meters), making it the highest point on Capitol Hill. As you reach up the tower, there are benches to rest your tired muscles. The tower has windows with bars on them, however it does not hinder the view. It is a must-visit to capture the best view of the Space Needle.
