Space Needle workers are told to "live on less"

By Jack Brummet

In lieu of a raise, workers at Seattle's Space Needle were given a "webinar" on how to live on less. The webinar was emailed to Space Needle workers last month.  Unite Here 8 is the union for Space Needle workers. The union says the last raise for employees was a 35-cent raise four years ago.  You can see the webinar here.

The Space Needle becomes a UFO above the clouds

A photo yesterday from KOMO-TV news.  You actually see this happen a few times every year, when we have low clouds.  And we have low clouds (and every other form of cloud) pretty often.

Happy 50th Birthday, Space Needle

Today is not only the birthday of one of my favorite friends, but also the birthday of the Space Needle.  I remember when they were building it.  Happy Birthday to The Needle!

Invented in Seattle?

Not sure if they are referring to the phrase originating here, our famous phallic Space Needle, or the locally famous hamburger chain?  From the married to the sea website. . .
