Postcard - Seattle, Washington

"The Space Needle is the most dominating feature in the skyline of Seattle. It rises to the height of 600 feet and is topped by a restaurant which revolves 360 degrees every hour. About 260 persons can be served. An observation deck is also available. From the Needle an inspiring panoramic view of Seattle and Puget Sound is featured. This dramatic photo was taken during the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the World's Fair-- 1972."

Postmarked 5 Oct. 1979. This photo makes the Space Needle look like a B-movie monster about to fight Godzilla in the Battle of Seattle. Hey, we live just across the big lake from Tokyo. It could happen.
