There's a lot to see from atop the Space Needle. With mountains in practically every direction, one of the best skylines in the country, shimmering Puget Sound, historic Queen Anne Hill, and Lake Union, most people probably hardly notice the South Lake Union neighborhood. However, after living in it for more than a year, I've gotten to know it more than is possible from a 520 foot high view.
I took the picture below from the Space Needle looking east and decided to literally highlight various things in the South Lake Union area.
Use this color code as a key:
- Purple/fuchsia - residential
- Pink - hotels
- Green - parks
- Red - churches
- Orange - miscellaneous (news media, research centers, etc.)
- White - roads
- Yellow - arterial roads

wow, you seem to have put a lot of work into that. that also seems to be a lot of miscellaneous, or is that a normal amount of miscellaneous for that size of area?
Well there's a cancer research center, a TV station, a newspaper, a college, an armory building being used as a museum (I think), and a school of medicine. I think it's a normal amount of miscellaneous for an inner city location.
Yeah, he put several hours into it. I think it's pretty neat.
