When you can own a Seattle Needle
It's only $79,000,000!
What a steal.
The Structure Top of the Space Needle – Aircraft Warning Beacon: 605 feet Observation Deck: 520 feet Revolving SkyCity Restaurant: 500 feet SkyLine Banquet Facility: 100 feet Pavilion entrance and SpaceBase Retail Shop: ground level Bottom of foundation: 30 feet below ground The Space Needle was built on a 120′ x 120′ lot formerly owned by the city of Seattle, which was sold to investors for $75,000 in 1961, just one year before the opening of the World’s Fair. There are 848 steps from the bottom of the basement to the top of the Observation Deck. During the construction of the Space Needle, it took 467 cement trucks less than 12 hours to fill the foundation hole (30 feet deep and 120 feet across); this was the largest continuous concrete pour ever attempted in the West. When the Space Needle was built in 1962 it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. The foundation weighs 5,850 tons and there are 250 tons of reinforcing steel alone (i.e., rebar) in the foundation. The Needle structure weighs 3,700 tons. The center of gravity for the Space Needle is 5 feet above the ground. The Space Needle is fastened to its foundation with 72 bolts, each 30 feet in length. The Space Needle sways approximately 1 inch for every 10 mph of wind. It was built to withstand a wind velocity of 200 miles per hour, doubling the 1962 building code requirements. When winds around the Needle reach high speeds, 35 mph or higher, the elevators are designed to reduce their traveling speed to 5 mph for safety reasons.

ps i am moving to seattle in september
Also there is PAX soon I guess.
Also the northwest has nice weather but I guess it's been super fucking hot lately?
braid is really confusing
Hopefully that means an iPhone version, eventually.
t Taranis every time I've visited the weather has been gorgeous. And I like the rain!
I think it's not the whole game but I'm still quite enjoying it (huge battery drain though)
That would be a great spot for a super hero base!

I don't know man, but do you want to buy the Brooklyn Bridge?
Pretty easily.
But there are lots of cool things to do and places to go if you don't mind being within a few feet of them.

Or villains!
DUN DUN DUUUUUN
I mean, not many heroes heave 75 mil.
Secret Satan
oh snap
Just so you know.
Satans..... hints.....
who do you think you are,
?
Club
Except
Seattle
I find this hilarious
what a team!
only a fag needs this kind of information
So no weather themed superheroes/villains?
Is that what you're saying here?
you'd think that seattle residents would have heard something about this
how would that work?
you become really successful against the gangs but the public's constant attention to you leaves you in a situation where your only recourse is getting a fucking crazy girlfriend, doing black tar heroin and blowing your fucking head off with a freeze ray?
they'd fucking twitter mid-battle and link you to their last.fm
Man, all I'm saying if that you are in a storm and the wind speed is 120 miles and hour, chances are your roof is going to fly off.
Satans..... hints.....
why does it seem like someone is going to buy it and knock the whole thing down
I hope this is just me being paranoid
