It took me a while to go up to the top of the Space Needle...not because I'm afraid of heights, but more because I just figured it'd be a really boring, touristy thing to do. I was able to go when my mother came into town, and surprisingly, we had a perfect, clear blue sky when we went. Overall, I thought it was something worth doing. Seattle doesn't have the architectural skyline of a New York or the majestic views of San Francisco. But being able to see all the neighborhoods, along with the mountains and the Sound, was an experience worth having at least once while you're here.
