So @Oneironott wanted to see the Mountain, and it's a super clear day. We were looking at place to go that weren't the pricey Space Needle, and I...found this.
Columbia Center Skyview Observatory.
A full wrap-around view from the 73rd floor. In the tallest building in Seattle--twice as tall as the Needle. For $15.
The views were astounding.
