Built in 1962 for the Century 21 Exposition, the Seattle Center features some of the cities top attractions. A fairground, the EMP, various exhibition halls, museums, the monorail and of course, the Space Needle.
On a March afternoon, not surprisingly, it’s a little cloudy, but there are still some unique views thanks to the EMP.
Elsewhere in the park is the international fountain and of course many views up. And yes, there were kids in swimming costumes running through the water in spite of it being about 50 degrees F.
Even on a cloudy day though, you can still get some good views from the top – the Olympics, Quest Field, The PI (which just closed) and downtown.. oh and the EMP :)
On a better day, you can see Rainier too, but that will have to be another time… About a mile from downtown, you can walk to the needle, but the tourist way is on the monorail which cuts through the EMP and provides some different views of the city.
