There is no doubt that Seattle is a wonderful place to visit. There is great food, Pike Place market is a must see and the view from the Space Needle is something you will always remember.

The Space Needle was built in 1962 for the World’s Fair and is still a wonderful attraction to visit today. It is said that a Seattle businessman sketched a drawing of the Space Needle on the back of a coffeehouse place mat.Check out this link here. The Space Needle is currently privately owned.

The Sky City Restaurant is a great way to enjoy the view. It is a noted restaurant and was named “Restaurant of the year” in 2009 by the Washington Wine Commission. They feature a weekend brunch that might be a good meal option for a casual weekend outing. This restaurant is family friendly and features a lot of great seafood options.

The guides who escort you to the observation deck are very knowledgeable and know a lot about the city of Seattle. Be sure to ask them any questions you have in addition to using the map available on the observation deck. If you want the best view, I suggest checking the weather reports. It’s better to go when the skies are clear and sunny.
