All about Space Needle luggage storage
The Space Needle, one of Seattle’s most recognizable landmarks, offers visitors unparalleled views of the city, Puget Sound, and even Mount Rainier on clear days. Built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the Space Needle remains a must-visit attraction, with its observation deck providing a 360-degree panoramic view and a glass floor for a thrilling perspective. The tower is a symbol of Seattle, but given the astonishing natural environment the city sits in, it's also a great place to get views of the mountains and the ocean, too.
Carrying luggage while visiting the Space Needle can detract from the experience, especially when navigating the observation deck or nearby attractions like the Chihuly Garden and Glass. That's why you should take advantage of Bounce's luggage storage options so that you don't have to carry large bags to the Seattle Space Needle. We partner with local businesses throughout downtown Seattle and beyond to make sure you can always find luggage storage locations where you need them. With the ability to store any size of bags for as long as you need, you can visit the Space Needle without worrying about whether your bags will be permitted inside.
Exploring the Space Needle
The Space Needle, an iconic symbol of Seattle, offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the city and beyond. From the observation deck, visitors can take in panoramic vistas of the downtown skyline, Elliott Bay, Mount Rainier, and the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Originally built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the Space Needle remains one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Pacific Northwest, featuring a glass floor and an open-air deck for an unforgettable viewing experience. Unfortunately, there is no revolving restaurant restaurant here currently, as the Skycity Restaurant was permanently closed. Luckily, though, there are fantastic restaurants in every corner of the city.
Getting to the Space Needle is simple. It’s located in the Seattle Center, and you can easily reach it via the Seattle Monorail from downtown or by taking one of the many bus routes that stop nearby. Ample parking is also available in the area but can get expensive.
