The Space Needle was built as an attraction for the Seattle Worlds Fair of 1962.
I was there, and the structure you seek is the Space Needle.
the seattle space needle is 16 years old** Incorrect built in 1962, The Space needle is 50 YRS old.
the short answer is that it was built for the Seattle worlds fair in 1962. it is significant to the city now as a tourist attraction and i think most locals like it too. Its certainly a significant and very recognizable landmark for the city of Seattle.
The Space Needle was opened to the public during the Seattle World's Fair, on April 21, 1962.
Seattle, WashingtonBetween April 21 and October 21, 1962 on the grounds of what is now Seattle Center.
The space needle has nothing to do with space, it is just a tourist location in Seattle, WA that is used for restaurant's. It slowly rotates and mostly just looks cool. Actually.. It was built for the World's Fair. Not for restaurants.
A real answer would be that the Space Needle is at The Seattle Center. address 400 Broad Street. Its very near downtown. heard of the EMP? its at the same place. Same place the Sonics play - The Key Arena. the neighborhood i would say is lower Queen Anne Hill. Uh... look in the sky. It's the big metal thing. Drive towards there.
The Space Needle is a 605 foot tower in Seattle, WA. It was built for the 1962 World's Fair. It has a restaurant and an observation deck on top and banquet/meeting space about a hundred feet up. It is a well known, iconic part of Seattle - with great 360 degree views of Seattle, Lake Union, Puget Sound, and depending on Seattle's also iconic rain, a great view of the very impressive (iconic) dormant volcano, Mr. Rainer.

No, its neither. Its a tall tower structure. That was built for the Seattle worlds fair of 1962. You can take the elevator to the top. There is an observation deck and a restaurant. It was built to look "space age" for 1962. But No dome , NO arch.
