Visit the Sky View Observatory, which stands head and shoulders above the rest of Seattle. Its viewing platform is higher than any other building in the city, so the views are breathtaking. Go to the 360° viewing platform to see such sights as Mt. Rainier, the Cascade Mountains, Mt. Baker, Elliott Bay, the Olympic Mountains, the Space Needle and the city of Bellevue.

The Sky View Observatory is atop the Columbia Centre in the heart of Downtown Seattle. Completed in 1985, it remains the city’s tallest structure, and the observation deck is the highest viewing platform west of the Mississippi River. Once you’ve taken the view in, you can start planning your trip around Seattle with the included hop-on, hop-off bus tour.

Your ticket will allow you to explore the city and visit some of its most interesting places. From Pike Place Market, where you can see fish being thrown, to the still-futuristic Space Needle, which was built for the 1962 World’s Fair. Make sure you hop at one of the piers and visit the lively Waterfront area.

So, if you’re visiting Seattle, this is the perfect way to get to know this fantastic and influential city.
