2. The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, a landmark of
the Pacific Northwest, and an icon of Seattle. It was built in the Seattle Center for
the 1962 World's Fair, which drew over 2.3 million visitors, when nearly 20,000
people a day used its elevators.
Once the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River,[7] it is 605 ft (184 m)
high, 138 ft (42 m) wide, and weighs 9,550 tons. It is built to withstand winds of
up to 200 miles per hour (89 m/s) and earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitude,[8] as
strong as the 1700 Cascadia earthquake. It also has 25 lightning rods.
It has an observation deck at 520 ft (160 m) and the rotating SkyCity restaurant
at 500 ft (150 m).[7] The downtown Seattle skyline, as well as the Olympic and
Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, Elliott Bay and surrounding
islands can be viewed from the top of the Needle. Photographs of the Seattle
skyline often show the Space Needle prominently, above skyscrapers and Mount
Rainier.
Visitors can reach the top of the Space Needle by elevators that travel at 10
miles per hour (4.5 m/s). The trip takes 41 seconds. On windy days, the elevators
slow to 5 miles per hour (2.2 m/s). On April 19, 1999, the city's Landmarks
Preservation Board designated it a historic landmark
