Today we will talk about one of the most iconic landmarks in Seattle, the Space Needle! It's right in the heart of Seattle and actually quite easy to get to by car and by public transit. But if you go by car you'll have to deal with big city parking (meaning you can't find a place to park). Anyway, the Space Needle is cool because you can get a great look at Seattle's skyline. I didn't go up this time around (wasn't my first trip to the place) because the line to the top was actually pretty long for a Sunday. We didn't want to deal with the line and the price, especially me because I had already done it before.
(sorry, can't rotate it atm..)
However the space needle has a lovely gift shop with stuff that isn't ridiculously overpriced. It's still overpriced, but reasonably if you're not on a tight budget as well. The space needle also has a cafe to check out after looking at the skyline and especially after you spend a while waiting in that line. I suggest you go in a group so someone can go get refreshments and food from the cafe if you want to go up to the top.
Speaking of, the entrance to the elevator that will take you up to the top of the space needle is on the second level. Just follow the line of people. Do not enter through the ground floor, that takes people to the exit elevator, the cafe, and the gift shop.
Also, for you pokemon GO players, the place is a great to catch a bunch of pokemon. I was upset that I didn't get to catch that starme, but I got a lot of pokemon before I got worried about my phone battery.
All in all, I'd say the Space Needle is a great place to visit if you're in Seattle. Just get there early to avoid that line!
