Ride a 70-second elevator
to the 73rd floor of Columbia Center

Enter Columbia Center at 4th Avenue and Cherry Street, check in at the ticket counter near the entrance, then take the immersive elevator to the 73rd floor in 70 seconds. The Sky View Observatory is the tallest public observatory in the Pacific Northwest, about 275 meters above Seattle.

Look out over Seattle in a 360° panorama

Look down on the city's skyscrapers, neighborhoods, harbor and sports stadiums, then turn your gaze to the mountains and water beyond. Enjoy views in every direction, including Mount Rainier, Lake Washington, the Cascade Range, Mount Baker, Elliott Bay, the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound and the Space Needle.

It is also a great place to plan the rest of your trip as you look out over spots like the Great Wheel, Pike Place Market and the San Juan Islands.

Relax with a drink at the Sky View Café

You can use the full-service bar, coffee station and Sky Café inside the observatory. Enjoy a drink or snack while taking in the Seattle views through the windows. The café and bar close 30 minutes before the observatory closes.
