Seattle Sky View Observatory Tickets

Priority access tickets allow you to visit Seattle's Sky View Observatory without queuing. It is a panoramic viewpoint located on the 73rd floor of the Columbia Center skyscraper. The view from the top is spectacular and includes both the city and the surrounding nature. The attraction features the Sky View Café & Bar offering sandwiches, salads, coffee, beer, wine and cocktails.

In addition to a 360° view, digital and analogue information panels explain the most important features of the visible attractions:

• Elliott Bay - The city's bay and end point of the Puget Sound, it is surrounded by a waterfront promenade redeveloped in 2017.
• Great Wheel - A Ferris wheel with 500,000 LED lights.
• Olympic Mountains - Western Washington's mountain range, not particularly high but very beautiful.
• Space Needle - Futuristic vantage point and true symbol of the city. It was built for the 1962 EXPO.
• Mount Rainier - An active volcano at over 4,000 metres, it is the highest peak in Washington State.
• Pike Place Market - The oldest market in the United States. It is famous for its local produce, bohemian atmosphere and a fish market where you literally throw fish away.
• Mount Baker - Another active volcano, covered in glaciers. It is home to a famous ski resort.

Visibility is usually good even in bad weather. If not, it will be signposted at the entrance. In any case, the view of the skyscrapers shrouded in mist is an impressive sight. If you want to go home with a souvenir, the souvenir shop is located in the atrium.
