Advantages: Tall Building, Great View Disadvantages: Bad shirts on the tour guides?
One of the most amusing books I have ever read is "21 dog years, My life @ Amazon.com", by Mike Davies, obviously based around working at Amazon.com in Seattle. Mike is a call centre drone and the book tells of such things as his obsession with stealing office stationery - regardless of its usefulness, and one story where he crashed an office work party at the SpaceNeedle. Although its probably not the first time I had come across the SpaceNeedle its the first time that it sunk into my conscious as somewhere I wanted to visit. I like a tall building and I like a bit of travel (in case you hadn't noticed..) and so the SpaceNeedle had been hovering at the back of my travel thoughts for a while and since its now just down the road (OK, so its four hours from Vancouver) I headed down to Seattle.
The Emerald City is the largest city ...
Advantages: Facinating building, views Disadvantages: Beaten by the Columbia Tower
As the main must-do sight in Seattle, the iconic SpaceNeedle, was always going to be 'done' while visiting Seattle. It dominates the area to the north of downtown and has an irresistible magnetic force pulling people towards it. I didn't resist. I was up there within 2 hours of arriving in the city!
(I was there solely for the views, not the restaurant, not the souvenir shop, so I cannot comment on either of these.)
Tickets at 2007 prices are $16 for adults ($8 for under 13s), although a day/night ticket for $20 will give two visits in a 24hour period. To be a cheapskate, you could go once just before sundown and linger until the city lights up. It is open until 11pm daily.
I was warned that queues could be quite long, but at my visit (a wet Wednesday in October), the queue for the tickets and the security checks very minimal ...
Advantages: Discovering a really beautiful piece of the U.S.A Disadvantages: None unless you want sandy beaches and palm trees.
Sleepless and Pennyless in Seattle !!! and I was both.
Staying in a little paper manufacturing town of Camas, on the edge of the Columbia River Gorge which divides Washington State from Portland, in Oregon, gave me lots of oportunity to explore the surrounding countryside.
Most of all a chance to stay in Seattle and explore this very dramatic area situated on the borders of Canada. A short drive up and you find yourself crossing over into Vancouver in British Colombia, Canada.
I booked a ticket on the retired American Greyhound which goes by the name of Green Tortoise, for obviouse details....anyone who has travelled this way, will know exactly what I mean. Never heard of it? then I will be writing a reviiew about it shortly. The only way I can visualise it for you is to say that it is a bright green Hippy bus for anyone who ...
