This live view follows the Space Needle, the 1962 observation tower that has become the defining landmark of Seattle. Use it to see how the skyline and the tower look right now, before you plan a visit or simply to check the sky over Puget Sound.
About the Space Needle and Seattle
Seattle sits between Puget Sound and Lake Washington in the Pacific Northwest, a city of hills, water and evergreen forest. The Space Needle was built for the 1962 World's Fair and its saucer-shaped top still gives one of the widest views over the city, the bays and the snow-capped Olympic and Cascade mountains on clear days. The area around Seattle Center, where the tower stands, is also home to museums, gardens and the old fairground pavilions.
What the camera shows and when to watch
This camera is aimed at the Space Needle, so the tower itself is the main subject and the surrounding skyline and sky change with the weather. Morning and late afternoon often bring the most even light for the tower, while evening shows the structure lit against the city. Seattle is famous for low cloud and drizzle, so a clear moment on the stream is worth noticing. Check the live weather on this page before deciding when to look.
Practical notes and nearby cameras
Seattle has a mild, wet climate: winters are cool and rainy, while summers are generally dry and pleasant, which is the most popular time to visit. The city is walkable in its core and well served by light rail and buses. Other Seattle cameras on VizCams include Large, Capitol Hill, Stadium Place and Lake Union, which give different views of the city and its waterfront from nearby points.
