"If you haven’t been to the Space Needle, you absolutely should—it’s a must-do experience. The views are incredible; you can see for miles in every direction, and it really gives you a one-of-a-kind perspective of Seattle. The rotating glass floor is wild and adds a fun, slightly surreal twist. I also love the classic 50s–60s vibe—it still holds that cool, iconic aesthetic. A couple tips: make sure to buy tickets in advance. They won’t let you go up earlier than your scheduled time, so plan accordingly. And if you’re afraid of heights, just be aware—you’ll feel exposed up there. It’s perfectly"
