9/10

Nice one Napptown to put this up. I was in Seattle a few years ago and really liked this place. It is in a pretty sweet location in a middle of a park, next to their basketball arena (I believe it is Key Arena, where the Sonics play). They also did a pretty good job of putting it a little bit out of downtown so you did not feel engulfed by it. I was disappointed that it was a little too cloudy to see Mt. Rainer...but hey, it's Seattle weather. (Not saying ours in Detroit is much better). So...i will give it an enthused 9.5/10

I can't wait until Spring Break when I will actually get to go to the Space Needle! I love it and in most photographs they make it look taller than other buildings like Bank of America! 9

It's vintage and futuristic all at the same time. No matter how far into the future we go, and how more futuristic the city and the skyline gets, the space needle will always look state of the art. 9/10.

Its one of my top 4 observation towers! Its definetely up there. Due to pictures like the 1st one, where its up close, i thought it was huge! But its smaller then I thought.
But I still like it and give it a 9!

10/10 its 4 decades old and it still looks very futuristic! If it were possible, I'd give it an 11 becuase it goes so well with the skyline!

9/10...It's the definition of Seattle. Even though it's not an actual skyscraper it's one of the best.
