Space Needle, Observation tower in Seattle, Washington.
The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, a landmark of the Pacific Northwest, and an icon of Seattle.
Built in the Seattle Center for the 1962 World's Fair, it has since become a symbol of the city and one of its most recognizable structures.
It has been featured in numerous films and TV shows set in Seattle, including 'Sleepless in Seattle' and 'Grey's Anatomy'.
