Of course going to Seattle entitles the Space Needle. Very impressive from the outside but it wasn’t really so amazing from the inside. This may partly be contributed to the fact that I don’t do well in elevators (not because I am claustrophobic, but because I get really dizzy).
But really, it wasn’t that great. You go up, say oh, ah at the view, and then go back down and leave. Frankly the monorail ride over was just as exciting if not more.
I do believe you have to see it just to say you have been to it, but otherwise not on my top ten list of things to see in Seattle. Anyways, I liked this photo of it, it was very tall and majestic.
