Sky View Observatory

Best view of Seattle - you can see in all 4 directions! If you know the area, it's always fun trying to spot your house or favorite hangout spot . Definitely better when the sky is clear.

Really great view . Was able to see Mt Reiner. Building is weirdly corporate though. Feels like I’m intruding or committing corporate espionage in an 80s movie .

Not as high as places like the Empire State Building or Willis Tower, but Columbia Center has its charm. Overlooking downtown Seattle and Elliott Bay , it serves as a reminder of how close nature is.

if you don't want to spend that much money to have a nice view go here and you have the best 360• view of Seattle including space needle

The views were incredible on such a sunny day! You could see for miles at the very top it was definitely worth it!

Fantastic view on a clear, cloudless day. $15 admission for adults . Walk around and read about seattle on the walls.

If you don't feel like spending $12.50 you can walk across the street to the Seattle Municipal Tower and take the elevator to the 40th floor for free views of the south side of the city

If you are touring Seattle this is a HUGE MUST!!! Views are outstanding. A bit spendy at $12.95 per person.

One of my favorite views of the city you can't beat this unless you're in person seeing for yourself

Much better than Space Needle : no queue, no crowd, no wind. And this is the highest building on West side.

A very warm welcome from Mary the Senior Wine Manager and staff . Service was great , food and drinks fantastic. Thank you all

Open 7 days a week from 10 to 8, enter from 5th Street on weekends. They recently remodeled the observation deck, and raised the price to 12.50 (adult )

It literally looks down on/to the Space Needle . $9.00 if over 55y.o. which includes return visit anytime on same day up until 9:45pm (Aug. 2014)

Killer views !! I'd recommend this over the space needle !! Bring your student ID for a discount .

Best five bucks you could ever spend. This view of the city and the mountains is worth more than words. A must see.....over and over again. Great place to take your girlfriend. She will kiss you.

Highest view of the city is here, you gotta pay to enter but you get your money's worth

Columbia Center: Sky View Observatory. Tallest building in Seattle with incredible views . 9$ for student

Tour Guide is very nice. Recommend getting there for sunset .

Best view in Seattle. Great 360 degree views . $15 entrance fee.

Columbia Center wins hands down over the Space Needle on views , crowds, and price.

Amazing views . Sunday morning almost empty platform .

The view after you climb those 1344 stairs yourself! Go Big Climb 2015!

We dare you to go to the Columbia Tower Observation Deck and draw a map of a scene below trying to identify as many sites as possible.

Expensive but great views of the city

Recommend this over the space needle every day. Beautiful view of Mt. Rainier.

Grab a drink and watch cars unload and load on the drive-on ferries by the southeast-facing windows

A great 360 view of Seattle !

It cost $5, but it is worth the view . Try offering the ticket person a coffee and they will probably let you in for free.

$12 for adults , $9 for students. Great 360 view with clean windows.

Probably the best spot to see Seattle from the top

You can sit and charge your electronics while enjoying the view .

Come 30 min before sunset and stay a little after to watch the city lights begin to come on

If you are in the downtown area get some work done at Starbucks on 40th floor . Great view

This place would work so much better with a Starbucks or HK-style noodle shop . Great views though.

Show your student ID to get in for only $9

The awesome view of Seattle downtown is pretty amazing

Bring your student or military ID. It saves you some $.

Free views of Seattle from the 2nd highest building on the West Coast

Nice for a scenic view of the city .

$5 admission and a great view of Seattle. Much better and cheaper than the Space Needle .

Cost was $9 for adults . Doesn't have the history of the Space Needle , but it's cheaper with a more towering view .

Observation deck admission is only $3 with a student ID. View beats the heck out of the Space Needle

It's $12.50 for adults and $9.00 for students. Someone's told it's free..

Free views of Seattle from the 2nd highest building on the West Coast

14.75 for an adult at least on Saturday.

The view is breathtaking!

Best sunset in Seattle!

Amazing views from 73 floor!

It's a gorgeous view of the Sound and of Seattle.

Best. View . Ever.
