July 5, 1982
You can’t live in Washington State and not go to see the Space Needle at the Seattle Center — a fairground, park, and arts and entertainment center built on the site of the 1962 Century 21 Exposition.

Both the 605 feet (184 m) tall Space Needle and the
International Fountain were built for the 1962 World's Fair.

A fond memory of the Space Needle involves having dinner at the revolving restaurant that sits atop the tower. I’m talking a fancy, expensive restaurant that we were able to afford only because my boss had given me a “thank you” certificate for a job well done. We had a great meal, but every time we remember the occasion, Mui says the same thing: “It’s the only time I paid $100 for dinner and walked away still hungry!” (No photos from that evening; sorry.)
