The Chihuly Gardens near the space needle in Seattle are simply STUNING!
If you ever have the chance to go–GO!

Two of Seattle’s iconic landmarks- The Great Wheel (where you can even have dinner from Fisherman’s restaurant on your private gondola), and the Space Needle.

Olympic Iliad-Olympic Sculpture Park
Alexander Liberman’s Olympic Iliad, orange-red painted steel sculpture, installed in 1984 on the lawn southwest from the Space Needle. In the background is the famous Space Needle painted the original “Galaxy Gold” for it’s 60th birthday celebration.
I like the way people are seated all around the various sculptures found in this Seattle Park.
