Space Needle

The Space Needle is Seattle’s signature icon - a symbol of innovation, imagination, and the city’s forward-looking spirit. Built for the 1962 World’s Fair, its saucer-shaped design has become one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the world. Visitors ride the glass elevator up 605 feet to an observation deck with sweeping views of Mount Rainier, Elliott Bay, the Cascade and Olympic ranges, and the city below. The rotating glass floor adds a playful thrill, while the surrounding exhibits connect the past with the present. More than just a tourist stop, the Space Needle offers a hygge moment in the sky - sipping coffee above the skyline, watching the sun dip behind the mountains, and seeing Seattle from a whole new perspective.
