- Sarah CAshtead, UK1,323 contributionsHaving been tipped off by our tour guide the day before that this was a more economic and classier experience than the Sky Needle, we really enjoyed our time at the top. The views were magnificent, so much to see in all directions (great weather helped) and, over a few of beers / wines and snacks, we wiled away a couple of hours very happilyWritten 19 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cherylynn3Waco, TX182 contributionsStriking architecture and impossibly cool library layout. Take the escalators 10 floors up… we took elevator down. Lots of comfy Adirondack and other seating on 3, and many, many places to plug in laptops or use a library PC. The study-tech carels on 10 are exceptionally impressive with several variations in flooring and fine City views.Written 3 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- derrickwg36Seattle, WA7,760 contributionsThis is a must see tourist attraction if you are visiting Seattle. It is the tallest structure in the Pacific Northwest, you can see an360 view I’ll be entire Seattle. area and the surrounding mountains . It’s similar to Chicago’s Willis Tower (formally the Sears Tower). You can purchase drinks and food, and relax at a table to take in the view.. I highly recommend this attraction.Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

We had a little whiskey in our coffee (we can't help ourselves), and it was great! Definitely a great place to visit!Written 5 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alec DSeattle, WA2,602 contributionsUnion Station Great Hall is worth a visit if you look old American buildings. It's very large inside and the restoration is quite nice.Written 14 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cattloverssMinneapolis, MN157 contributionsI love the view from above, you could see the city and the bay from distance. The day I go up there was a beautiful sunny day, you could see miles from the top.Written 16 December 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kelleygirl2Sarasota, FL6,291 contributionsWe began our tour of Seattle with a quick tour of the lovely little Chapel of St Ignatius at Seattle University. This tiny church, striking as it was reflected in a long pool, was designed by Architect Steven Holl who designed the chapel using vessels of light to define physical and spiritual spaces. Pools of light separated the dark spaces within asking the visitor to experience light as it passes through windows and bounces off walls. A scale model of this building is part of the permanent collection at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.Written 26 January 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James CFairbanks, AK98 contributionsThis is a newly added attraction to the Smith Tower showing the perspective of the Prohibition Bootleg King Era. it is on two floors showing vintage displays from desk with radio broadcasting early era programming an interactive phone operator switchboard where you can "eavesdrop" on conversations, a peephole diorama of a speakeasy,a uniformed elevator operator giving info, culminating in a ride to 35th floor China Room with great city views on all 4 sides of platform and the "Wedding Chair" of which it is said those women wishing to get married will do so with one year of sitting on it. Cost is currently 19.14 same as year Smith Tower opened.Written 9 September 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- misopiso88Seattle, WA24,842 contributionsThis business has been in Seattle since 1949 and their building is iconic. They sell awards and trophies. On top of the one story storefront is a ginormous trophy which is Guinness Award Worthy! It is definitely worth the side trip to see it. Surrounded by Amazon buildings, I hope the city realizes this gem of a business needs to be preserved. Highly recommend!Written 2 January 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BeaniceguyOregon13 contributionsIncludes the VA and IRS. You need to navigate some stern security guards to get in and the customer service really varies depending on what you are there for. It is a really tall building, however, so if you happen to get a view from any of the upper floors, you can see the bay and other skyscrapers. Not sure if there are many options for the general public, unless you have specific business there.Written 28 November 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
