If you have watched Sleepless in Seattle and 10 Things I Hate About You, you will have a 360-degree or Google Street View feels of how downtown Seattle looks like.This is the view can be relished on top of the famous Space Needle, an observation tower in Seattle, Washington. An icon of the city, this landmark was built for the 1962 World’s Fair which drew millions of visitors.
The view almost never sleeps in the city for there are day and night observation packages. Everything is in order and this is how it should be in the Philippines, too. It is open Monday to Sunday 8:00am–12:00am.
Sure, it is really ‘hard to take Seattle for granted when you see it from 520 feet on our Observation Deck. Trace the outlines of the Cascades against the misty horizon. Instagram Mt. Rainier. Track ferries and boats as they cruise through Elliott Bay. Listen to the distant hum of people, cars, trains, buses, and bikers bustling around Downtown Seattle. It’s all up there, ready and waiting to be seen.’
Check out complete stories on their site. Click www.spaceneedle.com for a virtual tour of this great landmark. And it’s really the cutest website.
With my Uncle and Aunt being such great tour guides.
Instead of turning out to be a white elephant, this skyscraper has turned metals into gold, from a structure for attraction and a hub for employment. I’ve seen many Filipinos working there!
This monorail is actually 55 years old. Elevated above Seattle streets, riding on concrete rails at 70 mph on electric power, this shows the world how future transportation would be.
This will give you one quick, good tour of the city of Seattle in a swift.
If you are into pop and the arts, the Museum of Pop Culture is for you.
It is a ‘leading-edge nonprofit museum, dedicated to the ideas and risk-taking that fuel contemporary popular culture’.
They believe that it is the ‘gateway museum, reaching multi-generational audiences through our collections, exhibitions, and educational programs, using interactive technologies to engage and empower our visitors.’
In this museum, ‘artists, audiences and ideas converge, bringing understanding, interpretation, and scholarship to the popular culture of our time.’

The greatest artists of all times are featured in this hub. That’s my Uncle and my Aunt enjoying the show on an uber wide screen.
For the musically inclined.
Gigantic tree of electric guitars. I want this for Christmas.
And of course, being gorgeous is an art. Try out these wearable artworks they have.
And just right before Christmas, drop by this Filipino restaurant.
Uh huh, Jollibee and Red Ribbon!
