Bhy Kracke Park is a lovely 1.5-acre green space in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood, offering panoramic views of the city's skyline from its highest vantage point, including views of landmarks such as the Space Needle, Capitol Hill, and the Cascade Mountains.
The park is named in honor of area citizen Werner Kracke, nicknamed for the popular "by cracky" idiom that was in common linguistic use in the late 19th century. It is noted for its interesting use of land in a space that would not seem hospitable to developing park facilities, as much of the park's land slopes uphill within a steep residential area.
An ADA-accessible children's playground is offered at the park, along with a bike rack, benches, and drinking fountains. Each year, the park serves as a popular spot for viewing city Fourth of July fireworks due to the park's high elevation.
