In 1914, Smith Tower became the first skyscraper in Seattle and the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. For more than one hundred years, it has remained a cultural icon of the city, offering breathtaking, panoramic views and spectacular architectural beauty. Today, it features a unique visitor experience including a ground-floor gathering place with gifts, souvenirs, and treats; historical exhibits telling tales through time; and an Observatory with an open-air observation deck, 360-degree views of Seattle and beyond, and a speakeasy-style bar where you can enjoy a locally-inspired menu of shareable plates and classic cocktails.
We invite you to experience the iconic Smith Tower.
