                       The space needle 
Hello viewers for this blog post I'm going to talk about the Seattle Space needle one of Seattle's most famous structures and a bit of its history.
                                   
                                                Some facts about the needle

• When the Space needle was built it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi river.
• During the construction of the space needle it took 467 trucks of cement to fill the foundation hole.
• There are 848 steps from the bottom of the basement to the top of the observation deck.
• The space needle sways 1 inch for every 10 mph of wind. Making it a requirement to slow down the elevator speed to 5 mph.
• On a hot day the space needle expands by 1 inch
• The original name for the space needle was the space cage and the restaurant was called the eye of the needle.
• The Space needle was built in 1962 for 4.5 million dollars.
• The Space needle is held together by 72 bolts each 30 ft in length
• The speed of going down the elevator is 10 mph, 3 mph faster than snow so if your going down the elevator on a snowy day then it looks like its snowing upwards.

                                       The reason for the Space needle
           The reason the space needle was created in 1962 was for the worlds fair in 1963 it was created by the artist Edward E. Carlson and was said to be the building of the 21st century it was later adjusted and changed by a the architect John graham so that it could actually be built.
