If you have seen any TV shows featuring Seattle like Kramer, you would have seen the Space Needle its just huge, built for the 1962 World Fair this 605 feet tower has had over 45 million visitors to its platforms to see its amazing views. The obeservation deck is at 520ft above ground level and gives fantastic views of not only the Seattle skyline but the Bays, islands and surronding mountains. The trip to the top takes a mere 43 seconds and the centre is linked by a monorail system
In 1962 The Committee Hoping for Extra-Terrestrial Encounters to Save the Earth (CHEESE) claimed to have plans that the needle was constructed to send transmissions to advanced beings in other solar systems- no proof has ever been forthcomming.
