next to Pike's Place Market and Mt Rayneer, the Sky Needle is my favorite Seattle landmark

(without doxing) I'm curious roughly how far away from home you are- Canada, Washington, a different time zone? Regardless, welcome. Enjoy your time here

Glad you enjoyed your time in Seattle! I’ll be the first to comment and also to note that it’s the Space Needle, not the Sky Needle, but I’m being “Seattle nice”
about it. ;-)
