In early afternoon, we arrived at the Space Needle tower in Seattle. The tower has become symbolic of both the city and the whole Pacific Northwest region. It was built for the 1962 World's Fair and is 605 feet high.
The observation deck, which is 520 feet from the ground, provides awesome views of downtown Seattle, the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, Elliott Bay and surrounding islands.
The elevators to the observation deck travel at 10mph. The trip takes about 45 seconds. Dale shot this video as we returned to ground level in order to go and explore the great city of Seattle some more:
