Default Seattle: where should I go for great photography opportunities?

The first priority would be spectacular scenery. Wildlife photography
opportunities would be nice but wonderful scenery is the major
priority.

I only have 2 days to do this so anything within a few hours drive of
the Seattle airport would be optimal. Thanks for any advice.

You could go to the locks in Ballard.

There's some good picture stuff there, or Fremont maybe?

Downtown has a lot, don't miss the market.

I suggest you drive up to Paradise Lodge on Mt Rainier. That gets you 6,000
ft up a 14,000 ft mountain, and you can hike to glaciers or the snow line
from there quite easily. If you haven't seen *big* mountains before, this
is quite an experience.

Spectacular scenery on the way up, and you're likely to run into a wildlife
bonus if you keep your eyes open.

Of course if it's cloudy -- which it often is except in mid-summer --
you'll have to find something lower down. You can check out the mountain
right at the airport. Just look to the SSE.
