Go to the top of Columbia Center to get a great view of the city. It will cost about $15, but it's much less than the Space Needle. On about the 44th floor, there is a Starbucks you can have a drink at with quite a view, and without needing to pay any extra!

73rd-floor observatory with sweeping city & mountain views, plus a cafe for light fare, beer & wine.

It's the tallest building in Washington and second tallest on the West Coast. The view (and price) beats the Space Needle by a long shot.

Has a great viewing area -less expensive than the Space Needle and just as nice, according to past guests!
