seeable
Able to perceive
Seeable means capable of being seen or visible.
The word is straightforward but uncommon, since *visible* typically fills this role in formal contexts: The mountains are seeable from the highway on clear days.
It appears most often in casual speech or when *visible* feels too stiff.
