WINNER: Pastel sunset with low fog
Hang it in a museum — the colors and composition from this shot of the Space Needle with the mountain out in the background is pure heaven.
Humpback Whale
Capturing the moment a whale breaches local waters always makes us go whoa — and that pic above is no exception.
What a legend! Megan Rapinoe
Ah, the memories. In October, a record 34,000 fans gathered at Lumen Field to say a fond farewell to retiring OL Reign star Megan Rapinoe — and this image perfectly captures the mood.
Love in Seattle
Postcard pic, anyone? The intimacy of the couple combined with the gorgeous waterfront view at dusk should instantly thaw the Seattle Freeze.
Rusty dock view of downtown from West Seattle
The Emerald City shows off all the colors of the rainbow at night looking out from West Seattle — truly mesmerizing.
All fun and games
Splish-splash — we get a child-like sense of joy seeing the kid playing in the International Fountain against the beautiful early fall colors at Seattle Center.
The winner, Daniel G., will receive a $25 gift card to use at our online marketplace, Six & Main. Thank you to all who participated.
