Not quite the view it had when the forest around it had not grow up as much, but still peeks of the cascades and downtown and beautiful grounds. There are signs to warn against leaving valuables in the car, and sure enough, when we got back to our car, we were missing a (full) suitcase, handbag, wallet, GPS and a host of other small things. Parking attendant said it happens all the time, and they've been known to "bash and go", breaking out windows to get what they want. I don't think I'll ever return unless I start driving an armored car.
