SEATTLE CENTER.   Certainly one of the area's better-known landmarks, this Jetson-esque attraction affords breathtaking views from its observation deck. As a boon to squinting visitors, detailed maps provide exact locations of sights found within the bounds of its panoramic vista. In addition, the Needle hires between-job actors and comedians to accompany visitors on rides to the top, entertaining them with en route facts and fun. It's rare that questions are posed which the guides can't answer – they'll even challenge you to best them on any bit of trivia or city-related fact.   (© 10Best)

Take an elevator up to the Observation Deck—a 41-second ride—and marvel at the 360° view while helicopters buzz below you. (from Sunset)

This was my first visit to Seattle and I enjoyed seeing the sites from that far up, as well as being able to get to see what the Space Needle was really all about. It was awesome being that far up.
