    Great view in training room
    Analie G.

    I still am in awe that I get to come here everyday! The downside is having to pay for parking. So if you can take a bus. Do it! Google map helped me with what the best bus routes to take. Getting the top and hanging out is worth the commute. There's so many places to explore and enjoy downtown city life This is a hidden gem of a place. It looks like it's just office space but there are four levels of food courts and shops. The observatory and sky view starbucks lounge is a must see and visit. It's a short walk from pioneer square and close to Pike's Market.

    Yes, this observation deck is worth a visit. $22 per adult. Staff super friendly and helpful. Deck has a full bar and restaurant, good amount of seating. This spot by far offers the best views of Seattle. This location has been bookmarked for almost a year, finally got to experience. Parking is expensive $19 for less than two hours. Lower floors have fast food style restaurants, lots of great options(Gyro's, Salad Bars, Sandwich shops, coffee shops, etc)

    I live for city views. I love the feeling of being on the highest building of the city at night and just absorbing all its beauty. Apparently, Columbia Center has the best view of the city, so we didn't even bother going to the Space Needle. I read a previous review that they closed at 11PM, so we took our time. The first time, we came around 8:05PM, and the lady informed us that we had just missed it by 5 minutes, and that we should come back the following day before 8PM. So we did. We came at 7:45PM, and they didn't let us in because apparently, it'd take awhile to unlock the elevators. Wut?! Luckily, we had an extra night in Seattle, and came right after sunset the following day. We FINALLY got to go up. Third time's the charm. You have purchase your tickets on a machine on the first floor prior to going on the 73rd floor, so make sure to come, at the very latest, 7:30PM. There are also student discounts too, so make sure to hop on the opportunity to save a couple bucks. I was expecting a deck where you could go outside and freeze temporarily, but you're just warm inside the building. It's a beautiful 360 view, but it sucks that there are so many reflections if you're not within 2 inches of the glass. You can't get a nice selfie with bae, let alone a decent photo unless you press your lens against the glass with a steady hand. It'd be much nicer if the lights in the building were to be turned off, but that ain't possible, I know.

    Columbia Center hands down has a way better view than Seattle Space Needle. The best thing about this spot is 1) it's cheaper, especially if you have a student ID 2) your admission is good ALL DAY 3) this is the highest point in Seattle. We only went to Space Needle because it's a tourist thing to visit and I had to see for myself if it was worth the visit. Clearly I loved Columbia Center better!

    View from the top. Gorgeous!

    Twice the height of the Space Needle and half the price? Yes please! Head here on a clear day and overlook the city, the Puget Sound, and Mount Rainier. Absolutely gorgeous views! Usually not crowded and walking distance to Pioneer Square and the light rail station. There's usually a Groupon or Living Social deal which makes it $14 for two people. There's a little bar at the top which is nice to sit and sip a beer while enjoying the sites!

    Most people go to space needle when visiting Seattle for the view but i was told by a friend to check out the Columbia center observatory deck. It was AMAZING! Not only could I see way over the space needle, but the crowd at night was fairly non existent (maybe just another 10-15 people around the 8-930pm time we were there). On the 73rd floor skydeck is a small cafe/bar and a couple tables/stools to really enjoy the view. We started past 9pm to catch the sunset and night lights and really enjoyed it.

    The observation deck is a sight to see! $15 for adults and there are reduced prices for kids under 5 (free), as well as seniors, military & students (all $10). Located on the 73rd floor, the view is spectacular and, in my opinion, way better than that of the Space Needle! You get a 360 degree view of downtown Seattle & even further. On sunny days, you can even see Mount Rainier. Definitely a great place to check out if you're here for the first time! They also give you a stamp so you can come back by 9:45 and catch the gorgeous sunset if you'd like!

    A very nice, clean, and tall building. On the ground floors, there's a big food court, though, I didn't have a chance to try while being there for the Big Climb. The best part of this building is the view from the top. I was so rewarding after climbing all the way to the top. Totally worthy it!

    this review is strictly for those nightly visits to the Columbia Center. if i could give it no stars i would. we walked from the water front all the way up to 5th Avenue and made our way to this building. Believe me when i say that it wasnt an easy task! i have heard great things about the view and that this place was a MUST COME for anyone who visits Seattle. this is what my visit consisted of: rude workers who made it apparent that they hate their lives. dirty and dark windows that made it super hard to take pictures. there were fingerprints and glares that were unavoidable. we didnt spend more than 10-15 minutes max here. and to be honest... it was specifically us just sitting to rest because of the huge hike we made just to get to the columbia center. 50 bucks blown in a matter of minutes. as we were leaving... we mentioned how disappointed we were to the girl who sold the tickets and even she agreed with us. save your time and money- if you must make it out here.... i dont recommend coming here at night.

Note - it's stocked for Happy Hour and also houses private conference rooms and a place to film video. I'm incredibly grateful for Marnee's creativity and initiative in getting Works Progress off the ground and running and keeping it going. I never expected my rent costs to *drop* over the years, but they have! If you are sick of sitting at home staring at the walls come in for a free day trial and meet the gang. They're happy to have visitors!

I didn't end up going with them either, but ended up taking the water taxi over the WeWork downtown to avoid a Bellevue or Ballard commute in a car. Probably would've went with this business due to its location if they had telephone booths or better call options like WeWork does. Great to support local company if this space works for you though.
