Various views from the Smith Tower observation deck...

Along the waterfront (where's Brando?)


Seattle's tallest skyscraper - Columbia Center (937 ft/285 m/76 stories/1985)
By number of stories, the tallest building west of the Mississippi (that's the "story", anyway). Was originally suppose to be 1,005 ft/306 m tall, but it had to be "shrunk" so as to not interfere with the flight path to SEA-TAC.


Threading the eye to the Space Needle

My wife & I chose not to go up to the observation platform in the Space Needle. We thought $16 each was too steep a price.
