ELLEN M. BANNER / THE SEATTLE TIMES
The Space Needle -- the symbol of the city and a relic of the 1962 World's Fair -- is reflected by Seattle Center's newest major attraction, Experience Music Project, as the monorail moves below.

For 40 years, the Space Needle has held court on the northern edge of downtown Seattle. And after posing for countless snapshots with the city skyline and Mount Rainier as its backdrop, the beacon with a UFO sitting on top has more than lived up to expectations.
Seattle Center facts: Lions and Sonics and ballerinas, oh my!
