The Seattle Center is a area surrounding the prominent and well known Space Needle.
The Space Needle is so prominent that it is even prominent in this blog entry. :)
The Space Needle was constructed for the World's Fair in 1928. The structure is 605 feet tall and features an observation deck and a restaurant, which rotates once every hour. Tickets run $18.50 and include a long wait to get to the top. Consequently, I didn't go up, not on this trip.
Once me and two other interns finished viewing the splendid needle, we walked around the Seattle Center. Among the features were the Pacific Science Center and the Sci-fi/Music Experience.

We were able to go into the free portion of the Sci-Fi/Music Experience Building and take pictures. Inside there was a gift shop and a magnificent amphitheater.
This slightly blurry picture highlights the distinguishing features: Cloth resembling Jellyfish hanging from the ceiling (maybe for acoustic enhancement), Dazzling Purple Lights, and a large screen.
There was also a background that resembled a celebrity award backdrop.
My attempt at posing like a celebrity...not really seeing it.
After the Seattle Center, my group traveled to a Thai restaurant for lunch, where a strange man greeted us.
Strange man, which turned out to be a statue to honor the Native Americans of the Seattle area.
Thus, another day of adventure came to a close. I am excited about tomorrow and I am looking forward to more weekend adventures.
