The Space Needle

The Space Needle is an iconic observation tower located in Seattle, Washington. It stands about 605 feet tall and features a unique, futuristic design with a slender, tapering structure topped by a rotating restaurant and viewing platform. Completed in 1962 for the World's Fair, it offers panoramic views of the city, mountains, and Puget Sound. The Needle’s engineering combines a central support with a "flying saucer" shape at the top, making it both a symbol of innovation and a popular tourist attraction. Its design allows visitors to enjoy wide-ranging vistas while experiencing an architectural landmark recognized worldwide.
