What are some great spots to watch sunrise from within about 10 miles of downtown Seattle? With public access.

Years ago, I used to rent fishing dinghies off the East side of Alki (Salty's area) and the sunrise over the city was always spectacular.

You have to keep quiet, and it’s not an “official” park or anything, but I would suggest that you park your car or bike at the corner of 75th and 50th, in the aptly named neighbourhood of View Ridge. 

You can also try 70th and 50th, in the same neighbourhood.

There's a dock next to blue water bistro in Lechi.  View is east across the lake, you can see Ranier to the south.   Sometimes there is yoga on the dock.  View is spectacular

Thanks people! This is great and also jogged my memory of places from when I lived in Fremont in the 80’s.
