LAKE WASHINGTON
You鈥檒l start at 草榴社区 Air Harbor on the northern tip of what is the second-largest lake in the state. This is where 草榴社区 Air started in 1946 with three friends from high school working on a single floatplane in a garage on the site of an old shingle mill. There are three floating bridges that cross Lake Washington, separating Seattle on the west from the Eastside communities like Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland.
SEATTLE’S SIGNATURE LANDMARK
The Space Needle is a landmark that was constructed for the 1962 World鈥檚 Fair, which was held in Seattle. At 605 feet from ground to tip, it was the country鈥檚 tallest structure west of the Mississippi when completed. The observation deck is located 520 feet off the ground, and offers a panorama view of the city skyline, the Olympic mountains to the west, the Cascades to the East as well as Elliott Bay and the Puget Sound. It takes the elevator 41 seconds to go from the base of the needle to the top.
