Since then, I have visited the Needle several times, including eating at the restaurant, going out to the observatory, watching movies on the lawn, and using the cultural and recreational facilities around the center. And to think the Space Needle and some of those facilities are 50years old.
MSN News - Created as the centerpiece of the 1962 space-themed exposition, the 605-foot-tall Space Needle has been described as looking like “a UFO on stilts” and was for many years the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. Today, the still futuristic-looking Needle is an iconic landmark in the Emerald City, its most visited attraction and home to one of the few remaining rotating restaurants in the world.
It is definitely somewhere I gravitate to once I drive into the city and I have some great memories of it in the past three years. Enjoy some more of the pictures from that lovely first day. We might actually be joining the Seattle Center for festivities this weekend. That is, if the weather is OK. After another very rainy spring, I really can't wait for summer..
Toronto's CN Tower her in Canada is 82 years old. It takes a bit of a ride to get up there, but worth it. I especially liked walking on the glass floor - very creepy.
ReplyDeleteThe Space Needle doesn't have a glass floor but the Empire State building in New York does and it was sure weird to walk out on it.
DeleteMy Indian friend keeps going on and one about Seattle, I hope to visit the city someday.
ReplyDeleteYou will certainly enjoy Seattle, only come during the summer.
DeleteGorgeous pics
ReplyDeleteNice scenery.
I'm not sure if I'm really looking forward to summer and all the heat, spring is like my best of them all, but I know it gets really frustrating with the rain tho
I guess it depends where one lives. Here spring is Okay-ish, but the rain! LOL...
DeleteAunty Myne,nice pics. I really want to be like you when I grow up, so I can travel to all the places I see in my dream #smiling#
