SPACE NEEDLE
You might be from Alabama or Timbuktu, but your abiding image of
Seattle will probably be of the Space Needle, a streamlined, modern-
before-its-time tower built for the 1962 World's Fair that has been the
city's defining symbol for over 50 years. The needle anchors the fair site,
now called the Seattle Center, and - despite its rather steep admission fee
- still persuades over a million annual visitors to ascend to its flying-
saucer-like observation deck.
