Jack Block Park — Attraction in Seattle

I absolutely100% love this park! I am old enough to remember a sad time before this place existed when the closest you could get was no longer existent road that went from the 5way intersection to the harbour ave 7-Eleven. This park is a little odd in it's access as if you want to get to the really good stuff you have to go over the railroad tracks, through the gate, around the storage lot and navigate your way through a minefield of speedbumps before you finally get to what is my absolute favorite view of the Seattle Skyline as seen from West Seattle.
