Originally built for the 1962 World's Fair, the 74-acre Seattle Center is a park, arts, and entertainment center in Seattle, Washington. Its landmark feature is the 605-foot tall Space Needle, a now-iconic building that was, at its completion, the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. Seattle Center is located just north of Belltown in the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood. The Seattle Center also includes the International Fountain, the Seattle Center Armory, The Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum, the outdoor Mural Amphitheater, and more. |
