Space Needle

After our "Duck" tour around Seattle, Larry, Diane, Tammy and I went up in the Space Needle.  Curt has a fear of heights so he and Cathy waited back at the SUV for us.

I've been up the Space Needle before but that was many decades ago.

It cost $18 (or $18.90 with tax) to ride up to the top.  Included in the price was a free photo they took of you before you got onto the elevator.  You could have the photo emailed to you, or for a fee, they would print a copy for you.  The price is a bit spendy, so if you've never been to the top, the view is nice.

Tammy and I met a Seattle native a few days later and she said you can get a very nice view of downtown Seattle at Kerry Park in the Queen Anne section of Seattle, and it is free.

While there were plenty of people at the top, it was not crowded.

After we got back down to the ground Tammy bought a magnet of the Space Needle for her magnet collection.

Here are some views of Seattle, Puget Sound, and Mt Rainer.
