We tried to make reservations to eat at the Space Needle last night because it was really clear yesterday afternoon and we still haven't gone up in it. They had an opening at 6:30, so we were going to go ahead and eat at that time even though the sun doesn't set until around 8:45 and we'd have to wait quite a while to see Seattle at night. Unfortunately, they said there was a private party going on and that the observation deck would be closed. So we decided not to go and wait until we have another clear afternoon/evening when the observation deck is open. I'm getting a little anxious and hope we can go eat there soon.
