Lonely Planet review for Olympic Sculpture Park

Hovering over train tracks, in an unlikely oasis between the water and busy Elliott Ave, is the 8.5-acre, $85-million Olympic Sculpture Park. Worth a visit just for its views of the Olympic Mountains over Elliott Bay, the park has begun to grow into its long-range plan. Among the highlights is the Eagle, Alexander Calder’s 39ft-tall red steel creation from 1971, which crouches along the horizon of the park. The thing probably weighs about a ton, but from where it’s positioned, it looks like it’s about to launch itself off the top of the hill and into the distant mountains.
