Just north of Seattle lies the University District with the Montlake Bridge passing over the Cut. That body of water is the location of the great crew races involving the UW past (1936 Gold Medalist eight in the book "The Boys In The Boat") and present. It makes for a nice sunrise or sunset shot depending on the season and location of the sun.
