The one-and-only Space Needle! The icon of the Seattle skyline. It was built for the 1962 World Fair. The Space Needle is 605 feet / 184 metres high. The first floor is a revolving restaurant, the second floor is an observation deck and the ground floor is a lobby full of hideous and useless souvenirs. It also sways when the wind is very strong, which we experienced first hand.
Note the fourth photo of the bird’s eye-view of the Experience Music Project. It is supposed to look like a smashed guitar. We weren’t convinced.
Note the fifth photo of downtown Seattle: Majestic Mount Rainier in the background and the home of the Seahawks on the mid - right.
