Elliot Bay

Part of the waters of Puget Sound, Elliot Bay is the main shipping lane into Seattle, and the hub for water travel, whether it is by ferry to Alki Beach, or to Victoria, BC on the Clipper.





Space Needle—Day/Night
Photos by Jeff

The Space Needle is one of the Pacific Northwest's finest landmarks, attracting more than one million visitors each year. The structure stands 605 feet tall, and is capable of withstanding an earthquake of 9.1 in magnitude.

Note the crumpled soda can inspired architecture of Frank Gehry's "Experience Music Project," just to the right of the Space Needle.

These photos were taken 43 floors above sea level in downtown Seattle, looking North.
