Rick has a program where he mentioned there was a toilet with a great view from one of the buildings. I have an odd desire to have this view. Does anyone remember where it is? Thanks.

I don't know whether this is the place Rick mentioned, but in my notes for Helsinki I have this:
Ateljee Bar, Hotel Torni, Yrjonkatu 26: Rooftop bar has great views, but so does ladies’ restroom. Elevator to 8th floor, walk up tiny spiral staircase, take quick look at view, then take other staircase down, stopping at restroom. Building being refurbed and will reopen in 2021. Bar previously opened daily at 1400 (1200 on Sat only).
I think the view was written up on the Spotted by Locals website, but I don't see an entry for it now.

Hotel Torni still exists as the specified address; it's part of the Sokos chain. I'm not sure the bar is still there.
In case you're interested in other viewpoints, I can add these, which are very close together and near the train station:
Central Library (Helsingin Keskustakirjasto Oodi), Toolonlahdenkatu 4.
Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Mannerheimenaukio 2. View of bay from north side of 5th floor.
