Originally built for the 1962 World's Fair, the Seattle Center is a park, arts, and entertainment center in Seattle, Washington. Its landmark feature is the tall Space Needle, a now-iconic building that was, at its completion, the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. Seattle Center is located just north of Belltown in the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood. ==Attractions== *The International Fountain, located in the middle of the campus, operates all year round. Built for the 1962 World's Fair, the fountain was built as a modernist water sculpture. With over 20 spouts, the fountain goes through programmed cycles of shooting water patterns, accompanied by recorded world music. The music is changed every month, and chosen to coordinate with the water patterns. *The Space Needle, an official city landmark, with its observation deck and revolving restaurant〔(Landmarks Alphabetical Listing for S ), Individual Landmarks, City of Seattle.
