Introduction
The Space Needle is Seattle's skyline symbol, built for the 1962 World's Fair at ~184 m, its slender 'flying saucer' deck suspended above the city. The revolving restaurant and all-glass observation level frame Puget Sound, Mount Rainier and downtown; a 2018 renovation added a cantilevered glass floor (The Loupe) for a walk-in-the-air thrill. Lit at night, it is Seattle's most photogenic landmark and the first place to grasp the 'Emerald City's' tech-and-future spirit.
