Sky View Observatory

Downtown Fodor's Choice

Take in 360-degree views of the Emerald City from Sky View Observatory, located 900 feet above Seattle in the city's tallest building, the Columbia Center. Spot Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, Elliott Bay, and the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges from the observatory. Experience Seattle from above during your chosen time: daytime, golden hour, or at night when the city lights glisten against the dark sky.
