Not as famous as the space needle, but the views were on par. It is also possible to get views and take pictures of the needle from the observation deck. Plan for a clear day.Full review by April H

Q:
I am a senior and have a disability (non wheelchair). Where would I find convenient/close parking to the observatory to limit my walking distance? I've heard the one with underground at the Sky Center will not accommodate some SUV's and you risk getting damage to your vehicles because the spaces are extremely cramped. Interested in a SAFE and Convenient location. Thank you.
A:
There is a small public parking lot right across the street from the building entrance. It has four (I think) handicapped spaces. We've found one available on both our visits.

I saw a few dogs up on the observation floor but did not look close enough to say if it was service dog or pocket dog only.

Q:
Hi, I want to buy 2 tickets for my friends who have just been married and are moving to Portland, at one point they will visit Seattle, if I buy them tickets for a date, and they can’t make that date, can they change it to a date that will suit them?
A:
Yes you can, as long as the ticket prices remain the same. I believe they have fixed the price for the remainder of this year. So the tickets should be valid till then.
