Since its debut in 1914, Seattle's Smith Tower has been offering one of the city's most breathtaking views, and now it's even better with a revamped visitor experience. As you explore, prepare to be captivated by fascinating exhibits that unfold the rich history of this iconic landmark. A ride in the tower's historic Otis elevator adds a nostalgic twist to your adventure. When you reach the top, you're rewarded with an incredible panoramic view from the Observatory. The open-air deck provides a stunning 360-degree perspective of Seattle and beyond, making it a perfect spot for those Instagram-worthy shots.
If you're a history buff, you'll appreciate the stories behind the tower's construction and its role in Seattle's development. Don't miss the Legends of Smith Tower exhibit, which brings to life tales of the tower's past occupants and events. The Smith Tower is not just about views and history, though; it also features a speakeasy-style bar where you can unwind with a cocktail, soaking in the ambiance of a bygone era.
