Seattle Trip: A Wonderful Experience at the Space Needle

Seattle Trip: A Wonderful Experience at the Space Needle I've always heard that going to Seattle without visiting the Space Needle is like going to Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower. Finally, I had the opportunity to personally visit the famous Space Needle. We went up the Space Needle at 7:30 in the afternoon, when the sun was just right. The Space Needle was designed for the 1962 Seattle World Expo. It is 184 meters high, and the top floor is 158 meters above the ground. When it was built, it was one of the tallest buildings in the western United States. Its foundation area is 40 square meters and 10 meters deep. It took a day for the concrete truck to fill this deep pit when it was built, which is a large-scale concrete pouring project in the western United States. The foundation weighs about 6,000 tons, and about 250 tons of fine steel are buried, and the strong foundation ensures its earthquake resistance and wind resistance. On the Space Needle, there is endless fun. The observatory and revolving restaurant built on the high place can overlook the panoramic view of Seattle in 360 degrees, and the city is in full view. Mount Rainier and Olympic National Park surround the city, and Puget Sound is also clearly visible. The second floor of the Needle Tower is a hollow glass design, where there is a revolving restaurant. Some of the partners in the same industry took various photos there, which were very good. I am a little afraid of heights, so I just sat on the glass and took a few photos and hurried back to the cement floor. If you have plenty of time, waiting for the sunset and night view here must be super awesome. We played on it for more than an hour, every moment was full of surprises and unforgettable memories. The trip to the Space Needle is undoubtedly a highlight of the Seattle trip.
