Learn More About The Space Needle Drawing
Since the 1800s, the World's Fair has been held every few years in countries around the world. Each of these fairs lasts for about six months and exhibits the latest industrial, cultural, and scientific developments.
Often, special buildings are built for the World's Fair. The Seatle Space Needle is one of them. This observation tower was built for the 1962 World's Fair.
Once the tallest building on America's west coast, the Needle is 605 feet (184 meters) tall. At its top, it houses a rotating restaurant called SkyCity.
During the World's Fair, 20,000 people toured the tower each day. Today, over a million people visit the Space Needle's observation deck every year.

The Seatle Space Needle has become a symbol of the Pacific Northwest. It has featured in movies such as It Happened at the World's Fair (1962) and Sleepless in Seattle (1993).
It also inspired a children's book called Wheedle on the Needle, in which a furry creature named Wheedle is responsible for the tower's blinking light. Wheedle later became the mascot for Seatle's basketball team.
