Port Plaza — photo spot in Viewing Tower, 701 Columbia St NW, Olympia, WA 98501, USA
Port Plaza
Score4.3Small viewing tower at Port Plaza overlooks Budd Inlet and Olympia’s waterfront — great for wide coastal panoramas, sailboats, marina details and sunset light on the bay. Easy walk from waterfront parking and downtown; compact site with short access paths. Best at golden hour and blue hour for color and reflections; weekdays and early mornings are quieter. Light rain/cloud edges add drama; watch for wind when shooting long exposures.
