The city icon that is as synonymous with Seattle as the letters S-E-A-T-T-
L-E was built for the 1962 World's Fair, and its novel revolving restaurant
and bold futuristic design have proved durable. Although it's no longer Seattle's
tallest structure, one million annual visitors still squeeze into the Space
Needle's slick, speedy elevators to enjoy views that are best described as sub-
lime. Granted, tickets are expensive and you might have to fight off the odd
tourist or three, but stop complaining and get in line: this is an essential Seattle
pilgrimage.
