When most people visit Seattle, they go to the Space Needle for a city viewpoint, but the Sky View Observatory offers so much more than the Space Needle! First of all, you can SEE the Space Needle from there. The building is the tallest in Seattle, much higher than the Space Needle, and the observation deck is 1 floor from the top. Views of the Puget Sound are much closer. And, if you're lucky, you may be high enough above the fog to catch it rolling out of the city, revealing a beautiful, clear day. #BVSBlue
