Smith Tower

avatar
@samhorine
Conveniently located downtown, Smith Tower is one of the city's original landmarks. Its observation deck has become famous for 360-degree views of Seattle, but the height-defying structure also boasts a photogenic exterior due to its prominent architecture. (before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)

This drone photo of Smith Tower was taken from the top of the ABM Parking garage. I stood facing east to get this perspective. You can either bike, walk or drive to the parking structure — it's easily accessible no matter your mode of transportation. By public transportation: - Closest station: Pioneer Square Station (Link light rail) - Head south on James St
