  4 0 Take wine in one of those little cardboard boxes that are available now to avoid gettng pinged for having glass in the park. I'm not talking about Franzia- there is actually halfway decent wine being sold in boxes now. Keep the box out of sight when you aren't pouring. Drink out of a plastic cup, and the cops will have no reason to approach you. kitschnsync answered in City Living over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by Brian Schroeder… 0 0 excellent idea! thank you!

  4 1 Myrtle Edwards is a great suggestion, but I have a more avant-garde one: Elliot Bay Park. Never heard of it? It's a Port of Seattle park, not a city one, and it's conterminous with Myrtle Edwards. If you're down by the grain terminal, you're in EBP, not MEP. Jack Block would be another great Port park for sunsets, but they close at frigging 9 PM for some reason. Ditto Terminal 107 Park. But Terminal 108 Park is open until 11, and so is the groovy little pocket park at Terminal 18 on Harbor Island -- tricky to get to, but you'll have the place to yourselves. If you can't see the sunset from there, you can at least see the effects on downtown, and it's a wonderful little industrial oasis. See a map here: http://www.portseattle.org/community/resources/parks/index.shtml I can never stop talking about the Port of Seattle parks. Nobody seems to know about them.

  3 0 Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island is great. It's easy to find a nice secluded grassy area to throw a blanket and settle down for a picnic by the lake.

  2 0 Myrtle Edwards is pretty, there's a sunset, it's right on the water, and there's lots of room to spread out along the trail and probably avoid trouble for the wine... http://www.seattle.gov/parks/park_detail.asp?id=311 Megan Seling answered in City Living over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question New comments are not being accepted at this time.

  1 0 This isn't in Seattle (Woodinville isn't too far), but the Chateau Ste. Michelle winery has nice grounds upon which you can picnic, and they let you have bottles of wine that you buy there. Andy answered in City Living over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by freikja… 0 0 Thumbs up for you, since someone told me about this place a while back, l've been wanting to go, and you just reminded me.

  1 0 I'd say Golden Gardens, except for the wine. The police usually have a visible presence there. So, how about Myrtle Edwards? It's right on the water and located downtown. I'm guessing that it's not too crowded in the evening, and there wouldn't be much of a chance of getting hassled by the po-po. Mahtli69 answered in City Living over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by kitschnsync… 0 0 Golden Gardens can fill up with assholes pretty quickly. It's kind of like Alki in that way, but I still love it. If you go to the north end of the beach, people are usually more chill, and they spread out more. Myrtle Edwards is a good call, too! kitschnsync commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question New comments are not being accepted at this time.

  0 0 I used to practically live at Carkeek Park, when I was in high school. It's got most of what Golden Gardens has, minus the crowds and the cops, and it has a lot more privacy/peace.

  0 0 Luther Burbank is worth the trip (which is really quick from Seattle if you avoid peak traffic times). The northernmost tip of the park gets very late sunshine, has shallow depths that make for warm swimming, and is surprisingly quiet as long as you pick the right times.
