Sky View Observatory Seattle: Sunset Skyline Views

Take your date to new heights at Sky View Observatory, perched on the 73rd floor of Columbia Center in downtown Seattle. As the tallest public viewing area in the Pacific Northwest, it delivers sweeping 360-degree views of the skyline, Elliott Bay, and Mount Rainier. Floor-to-ceiling windows and cozy seating make it an easy place to linger, whether you're sipping a drink from the café or watching the city shift from golden hour to twinkling night. It’s a romantic, low-key outing that feels a little elevated—literally. After your visit, grab dinner and wine at Purple Café and Wine Bar, enjoy cocktails and upscale comfort food at Ben Paris, or try smoky meats and bold flavors at Radiator Whiskey.
