West end of Ballard.

Since you are down in that area....there some nice landscape at the locks too.

I dont think it matters where you put girls like that it will always make the scenary nice.

As others have said...

Arborteum - Japanese Gardens or areas down by Lake Washington

Golden Gardens

Alki Beach - kinda cliche but the views across the water to downtown are cool nonetheless.

Seward Park maybe?

UW Campus: Red Square, the walk way from Red Square to Drumheller Fountain, the quad where all those cherry blossoms come out.

How about Harbor Steps (between 1st Ave and Western)? More urban "scenery" but it might work depending on the context.

i've always loved Discovery Park since i was a kid. :)

did you know you were taking pictures next to a city sewage treatment plant. ahhh i love Seattle. haha. And up until a few years ago the hill on GasWorks were actually covering up tons of toxic waste from when the refinery was operational.
Some good spots people have mentioned, there are tons of small parks and cool little areas around, you need to just ride around the city and check it out, considering don't really know exactly WHAT you're looking for in terms of scenery.

Like Snacks said it's West Ballard. The park is just north of Shilshole marina.

from I-5 get off on N 85th and head west (only way you can go). follow that until you hit water. maybe similar to your previous location so you might want to check out other places as well.

You could even shoot in Pike Place market....

With your skills you can fuzz out everything but the model but still tell there is stuff happening behind/around her. The bums won't mind watching either. :D and by bums I mean guys like me. hahaha.
