Ursula Judkins Viewpoint

Ursula Judkins Viewpoint is a small 2.4-acre park located in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Situated at the top of the Magnolia Bridge, this viewpoint offers visitors spectacular views of downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, Pier 91, Mount Rainier, and the Cascade Mountains.

The park is named after Ursula Judkins, a prominent Magnolia community activist who made significant contributions to the neighborhood. Judkins was known for her tireless work on various local issues, including reducing the impacts of the West Point sewage-treatment plant, resolving railroad noise in Interbay, and protecting Discovery Park.

While the park itself is relatively small, it provides a peaceful spot for visitors to relax and take in the breathtaking scenery. The viewpoint features a small knoll with trees, offering a quiet area to sit and enjoy the sights. It's particularly popular for photography enthusiasts looking to capture stunning images of Seattle's skyline.

In recent years, there have been efforts to upgrade and improve Ursula Judkins Viewpoint. A concept plan has been developed that includes upgrades to the parking area, a walking path, improved overlook areas, and restored meadows with invasive species management.
