The last time we visited the 605-foot-tall Seattle Space Needle, local attractions were just opening back up after the COVID shutdowns and we’d been practicing holding our breath for the 43-second elevator ride to the top. (Not that easy…).

We returned this week to see (and sprawl on) the rotating glass floor. To get our picture taken on the observation deck with glass benches and lean-out glass walls. And check out the new food offerings up top.

We also wanted to see and ride in the brand new double-decker elevator.

We did all that. And spent some time next door at Chihuly Garden & Glass being awed, as we always are, by the indoor installations and the outdoor garden.

Here’s a short video from the day.

We’ll be back with more details about all the new features at both of these classic Seattle attractions.
