City Build More Space Needles!
Posted by Dominic Holden on Thu, Mar 14, 2013 at 6:59 AM
Being able to see the the Space Needle is the most important thing to everyone in Seattle, as the Space Needle found in a recent poll, so smart citizens are calling for the only thing that can make Seattle equitable for everyone: "We all know that the only thing that gives our lives meaning in Seattle is being able to view a Space Needle. Unfortunately views of the original building are increasingly blocked by such impediments as the existence of the city of Seattle... Everyone should be able to view a Space Needle!"
Join the group: Build Additional Space Needles!

Agreed, but only if the saucer can detach and fly around. Or maybe build it on a big ass rocket and use that as an emergency escape pod for the mayor, rich developers, and culturally important people like Seahawks football players or Mariners baseball players (only to be used if Mt. Rainier erupts and the lahars are coming). Build a second one if Seattle gets the Sonics back.

Clear cut Volunteer Park, level all the houses on the west side of 16th and all the houses on the east side of 15th, and I would have a view of the Space Needle too.
Clearly the city is discriminating against me and violating my rights by failing to provide me with the view of the Space Needle that I deserve. Fascists!

@3: It depends on the options. The limited edition comes with walking legs, lasers that vaporize people, and little cages to hold people prior to grinding them up and fertilizing the ground. If you go for the premium edition, you also get a cowering Tom Cruise.

Spay Sneedle.
For some reason that's been burbling up in the remnants of my mind recently.
Seussian, or something.

There needs to be on on every hill. You don't still need those broadcast towers, do you? (Or that water tank at the top of High Point.)

Provide a free replica and transit subsidy to closest viewpoint to anyone who loses their view because of new structures built.

#6 is on to something. What we nned is to raze the tops of Queen Anne, Highpoint, Cap Hill, Beacon Hill and some place I am told is called "Crown Royal Hill" And build massive Space Needles on each one. 10 time the current height oughta do it. That way we can share the views with folks on Vashon, Bellevue, etc who only have mt rainier and other banal things to look at.

First I get to throw up in my mouth after seeing Helen Hunt nude in "The Sessions" and now Jen thinks someone wants to pay to bone her? What other atrocities does the week hold?

According to the CDC, as of 2004, sharing the Space Needle accounted for about one-fifth of all HIV infections and most hepatitis C infections in the United States.
