The Space Needle in Seattle is one of the most iconic landmarks in the United States, and has been an iconic fixture of the city skyline since it was built in 1961. Standing at 605 feet tall, it’s a marvel of engineering, having been constructed from over 12,000 tons of steel and concrete. It’s also supported by 25,000-pound metal anchors that were driven 60 feet into the ground.
Designed by Edward Carlson and John Graham Jr., it was built for the 1962 World’s Fair to symbolize innovation and progress. The first passenger elevator to ever travel at 500 feet per minute was installed in the tower as part of its construction; on a clear day you can see up to seven mountain ranges and Elliott Bay from its observation deck, some 520 feet above ground level.
The Space Needle isn’t just a tourist attraction – there are two rotating restaurants inside which allow diners to enjoy their meal with spectacular views of Seattle. The SkyCity restaurant serves fine Pacific Northwest cuisine while you slowly rotate 360 degrees every 47 minutes, giving you a different view every time you look out your window. On top of the tower is a 5,400 square foot open area called “the Loupe” which gives visitors an even more impressive view of Seattle – it is said to be comparable to seeing three Eiffel Towers laid end-to-end!
The Space Needle hosts millions of guests each year and remains one of the most recognizable landmarks in all of America. In 2017 it underwent an extensive renovation costing around $100 million that included completely replacing the observatory floor with glass walls so that visitors can take pictures with unparalleled 360-degree views. Another highlight includes LED lighting system installed on the structure that lights up at night in various colorful patterns for holiday celebrations or special occasions like Sounders game victories!
