Columbia Center
Columbia Center is a 76-story downtown office tower whose public viewing area frames Seattle’s hills, waterways and surrounding mountain ranges from above.
Why go
Go for a high-level reading of Seattle’s geography rather than a historic building tour. Its downtown height makes Elliott Bay, Lake Washington and the city’s ridges easier to trace, then compare from street level on the steep surrounding blocks. The view clarifies how water and hills shape the city.
