You step out of the elevator and the city opens like a map: concrete fingers, the sweep of Elliott Bay, the ragged teeth of the Olympic Mountains beyond. From the Space Needle's new outdoor deck the wind has an opinion about everything below, batting at your jacket, angling the scent of sea salt and coffee toward you. Beneath your feet the Loupe—the world’s first revolving glass floor—offers an unnerving vertigo and a neat, honest view of how small the city is from 520 feet up.
