shipping containers photo shoot area

[shimmy2244]

I always see pics of cars with a massive wall of shipping containers as the background. Where is this place? I'd like to go get some pics of my ride with the same backdrop. When's the best time to go?

Harbor Island off of the west seattle bridge. 11th ave southwest exit.

great spots around there

are these places that i can go to on a saturday morning, or is there a best time to go? I don't want to be in anyone's way while I'm taking a few shots.

Ya, go under the bridge, take a right and drive back a bit. I've been there with a dozen car photoshoot and nobody came out or said anything. You should be fine.

just be careful of the roads. worn out by the trucks

[jkautz48]

the roads are aweful, but if you go on a Saturday then nobody will give you any trouble

i'm about to head out and hit this place up. Is there a specific area tho? I've driven by here before and i still couldn't find the exact place. hopefully it won't be busy. i plan on hitting tacoma tomorrow morning.

i wanted to head out earlier this morning, but i was so darn tired.

Kind of late responding. But yes there is a certain spot. Enter the main parking lot and work your way back there. I believe its the fire/fuel dock, but im not sure.
