Space Needle

The Space Needle is a major observation tower located in Seattle, Washington, and is one of the most famous landmarks in the Pacific Northwest. It was built for the 1962 World's Fair, an event focused on the theme of space and the future, which explains its unique, futuristic design. Standing at 184 metres tall, the structure was built to withstand high winds and powerful earthquakes, reflecting the innovative engineering of the time. The tower features an observation deck and a revolving glass-floor restaurant, offering visitors panoramic views of downtown Seattle, the surrounding mountains, and the nearby Puget Sound.
