Space Needle
Seattle observation tower
The Space Needle is a tower in Seattle, Washington, built for the 1962 World's Fair.
Its distinctive flying-saucer top and narrow waist make it one of America's most recognizable architectural landmarks.
The observation deck offers panoramic views of the city, Puget Sound, and Mount Rainier: We went up the Space Needle on our first day in Seattle.
