SEATTLE, May 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Sky View Observatory and Columbia Center announced today their online timed-tickets go on sale Friday, June 1 at www.skyviewobservatory.com. Seattle’s newly renovated, ultimate visitor experience, offers sweeping 360-degree panoramic views at 902 feet, complete with innovative, interactive technology. Highlighted by an immersive elevator transformation, the experience whisks guests to the tallest public observatory in the Pacific Northwest, climbing 73 stories above ground in just 70 seconds.

For the first time, starting on June 28th, 2018, guests will have a single, direct-access elevator to the 73rd floor from the newly re-modeled 4th Avenue atrium entrance. This new pathway bypasses the tenant elevators, features a visual journey of the Pacific Northwest, and deposits guests on the threshold of Sky View’s breathtaking, unobstructed, Instagram-worthy views.
“Upon arrival, visitors can create their own tour guide experience from the top of Seattle,” said Jennifer Tucker, General Manager at Sky View Observatory. “We bring the city of Seattle to life through interactive content, which is displayed throughout the observatory on stationary, large-screen monitors for the best possible viewing. We have included attractions from the Museum of Flight to the Seattle Mariners to Ride the Ducks. We are working with Seattle’s premier venues and destinations to give guests an opportunity to learn about everything Seattle has to offer and plan their next steps.”
Also slated to debut on June 28th is enhanced food and beverage service with a Pacific Northwest flair, with items touching on regional trends like Pork Belly Bao Buns and Gruyere Mushroom Puffs. The menu also features small sharing plates that were thoughtfully created to complement a selection of craft beers, wines, and spirits. Included is Sky View Observatory’s signature cocktail, the “Seattle 73,” which features Copperworks Gin, lemon, huckleberry, and sparkling wine.
As part of the kickoff to the re-launch weekend, June 29th – July 1st, Sky View Observatory is working with community leaders to identify youth-focused non-profit organizations to preview the new experience. On the morning of June 28th, Sky View Observatory will debut the re-imagined Observatory exclusively to these groups and their families.
Leading up to the re-launch, Sky View Observatory remains open for visitors every day with summer hours from 10 AM to 10 PM. During the transformation process, guests can access the observatory through the main lobby of Columbia Center on 5th Avenue.
