Fun Facts About the Space Needle
The Space Needle was constructed in honor of the World's Fair in 1962, designed by architect John Graham & Co, and was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River at the time it was built. This massive structure towers 605 ft. high, is 138 ft. wide, and weighs 9550 Tons. You can see past Lake City to Lake Union and Mount Baker from the observation tower at the top!
If you're worried about the tower toppling over on your visit to Washington (especially in high winds), you can rest assured that you're perfectly safe. The Space Needle was built to be earthquake- and wind-resistant, has 25 lightning rods, and is sometimes shut down or restricted as a precaution in times of especially high winds.
How to Purchase Cannabis Near the Space Needle
If you're visiting Seattle and are eager to try out the best marijuana products to be had in Washington State, all you'll need is a government-issued ID that shows you're at least 21 years of age. Then, you can purchase up to an ounce of flower, 7 grams of concentrates, 16 ounces of infused edibles, or 72 ounces in liquid form at dispensaries near the Space Needle and throughout the city.
Remember that marijuana should be consumed in a private place such as a residence or 420-friendly Airbnb and not on federal lands or in restaurants where smoking is prohibited. To have a great time while enjoying premium cannabis, follow Seattle marijuana laws, respect your hosts, and enjoy getting "high" with the unbeatable combination of the Space Needle and Mary-Jane!
