Seattle Waterfront Sunset and Sunrise Photography

Seattle's waterfront presents numerous photo opportunities. Views of the Olympic Mountains, Elliott Bay, Puget Sound, Alki Point and back at the Seattle skyline are abundant. Sunset and sunrise light create so many opportunies to be creative. I've included shots from Alki, Queen Anne and Gasworks park here as well. #seattle To order a print please email me at Mike Reid Photography
