"I'm going to go across amount like bridge when I need to because it's such a mess from traffic from all the construction on 520 but is such a beautiful view. I'm always able to slow down and I look west and then I look east. West is towards of Puget sound. Sally and east is towards the Cascade mountain range. It's beautiful in the summer. It's really cool. I used to hang out at the park when I was a teenager. Now it's only 2 hours parking so you can't do that anymore for the days"

"the trails under the bridge on either side are a fantastic place to detach and watch the boats pass by. some optional side routes a little more tricky to navigate, e.g. thin dirt paths with a drop to the water in case of a slight slip. otherwise mostly paved with some railings and stairs toward the street side as needed. make sure to bring appropriate shoes, and during particularly rainier days and seasons expect mud under the bridge to potentially force some detouring up the stairs to get to the other side."

"At one of the many bridges in the city of Seattle, I love to see the sun rise to the East every once in a while from the Montlake Bridge. I never get let down when I go there. The view is spectacular, and the brudgr is architecturally wonderful."

"This bridge gets 5 stars from below and 3 from on top. Overall, a lovely Seattle bridge. Underneath the bridge is accessible from the Montlake cut, near the totem poll. It’s a great place to spend a moment by the water or to watch boats come through the cut. It also connects to West Montlake Park on the Montlake side. On the University District side, there are several paths bordering UW’s campus, near the stadium with some leading to the boat rentals. Crossing the bridge to get there can be a less fun experience. Traffic is constantly running on top of that bridge, making it quite loud. The weight of the vehicles also shakes the bridge pretty much all over. It was built nearly 100 years ago (1925), and it shows. The view is so nice that you’d want to spend time up there, but if you fear heights or don’t like the feeling of a vibrating bridge, move quickly. The other negative, as others have mentioned, is cyclist traffic. The bridge walking path is pretty narrow and there are no bike lanes, so you need to be vigilant when crossing and step aside whenever possible. Of the bridges in Seattle, this is certainly one of them."
