As you approach the beach in this massive North Seattle park, a small overpass looks out over the train tracks and the water—which, on a quieter day, makes great scenery for a sob.

Multiple readers recommended the Ballard Locks as a good place for a cry. “Plenty of water moving there,” said Steven Saunders on Twitter.

What better backdrop for a dramatic emotional moment than beds of roses?

Any of Seattle’s graveyards make a good crying spot, but the Lees’ gravesites, located in beautiful Lake View Cemetery by Volunteer Park, have an especially picturesque setting.

This little hideaway garden has pretty views and not a lot of foot traffic—unless there’s a wedding, and then you can just pretend to be moved.

This rose garden provides a small respite from the rest of the park—”hidden by bushes and the trains cover the noise,” notes Dustin Akers—and if your sadness turns to rage, there’s a little exercise area nearby.

Strike out finding a spot at the rose garden? It’s easy to carve out a little bit of this park’s coastline for a little cry—just find a seat nestled among the rocks. Its little pockets of beach make for a good setting, too.

Viretta Park is one of Seattle’s preferred spots for extremely sad tourists, best-known for the Kurt Cobain benches—which, despite being replaced recently, are kind of a makeshift memorial because they’re near what once was Cobain’s house. If you stop here for a sit-and-cry, you will likely be in good company.

The Macy’s bathroom, with its famous, ultra-private stalls, was a longtime favorite cry spot—but its conversion to office space threw a wrench in that.. It’s a good thing we still have Nordstrom. The third-floor ladies’ lounge or the bottom-floor men’s room are both decent spots.

Freeway Park is a great little retreat from downtown, and the famous brutalist waterfall is an ideal space to let it out—there’s plenty of seating, and the water helps mask the sound.

The stairs going up University Street by the Seattle Art Museum provide makeshift benches for a sit—and a water feature helps mask the sound.

There’s usually a place to tuck yourself away among the rows of books at the Central Library’s spiral.

Conveniently located in Pioneer Square, this walled park is perfect for creating your own waterworks.

With plenty of benches and water views, Seward Park is a close-to-ideal place to get lost in your feelings.

“A grassy hill south of Graham Street along the Chief Sealth Trail,” writes Graham on Twitter, recommending a good spot for a cry break. “Looking south you get Rainier on a clear day.”
