I made it to the top! - Space Needle Tour in Seattle

Space Needle in Seattle is one of the biggest landmarks in the city. It is considered as the prime spot of sightseeing. Going to the top takes 43 seconds through an elevator to the observation deck. The deck is as high as 520 feet from which you can see the Elliot Bay, Downtown Seattle, Mount Rainier and the Cascades, as well as the Islands in the sound and the Olympics beyond.Telescopes are as well available for zooming in sights that are far to see. The deck is a 360 degrees view so you get all the chance to view the North, South, West and East wings. Food is abundant up there as they have restaurants and food shops on the deck, and the souvenir shops are located at the ground floor before you take your exit from the top.

Underground Tour, Seatte

The tour starts with the introduction about the early history of Seattle as related by a well-versed historian tour host. The story is injected with some humor so you don't get bored :).

This tour has actually become one of the most famous talked-about attractions in Seattle.

I am not good in pretty remembering historic details, but to share you the basic idea about the tour, it's a place where you go under the ground (used to be an old city) below the current city of Seattle.

Of course, after the tour, you'll be taken to the exit passing by a gift shop, with a mini-museum that displays old artifacts used in the old days while the old city was still standing.

What a fancy toilet bowl during those days :)
