Far Removed From Everything. Including the Ground. Standing 605 feet high, the Space Needle has been Seattle's most visable landmark since it was built as the centerpiece for the 1962 World's Fair. An observation deck at the 520-foot level provides panoramic views of the city, Puget Sound and the Cascade and Olympic mountains. The Compass Northwest exhibit offers information on major points visible from the observation deck.
Telescopes are available on the outside deck walkway.
SkyCity revolves on a 14-foot wide turntable which makes one complete revolution each hour. The menu features Northwest cuisine including, homemade soups, hearty cuts of meat, salmon and fresh seafood prepared in a variety of ways, and the famous Lunar Orbiter dessert.
