Horiuchi Mural, also known as Seattle Mural, is a mural by Paul Horiuchi in Seattle Center, in Seattle, Washington. It was commissioned for the Century 21 Exposition (1962) and was billed as the largest artwork in the Pacific Northwest. The mural measures 60 feet by 17 feet. It was originally installed over a reflecting pool and now serves as a backdrop for Mural Amphitheatre, an outdoor film and performance venue that has hosted numerous musical events. The venue also hosted KING-TV's weekly program Seattle Center Hootenanny. Horiuchi traveled to Venice to prepare for the mural. A restoration of the mural was completed in 2011. It is a designated landmark.

SkyCity (originally known as the Eye of the Needle) was a revolving restaurant and bar situated atop the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington, United States. It featured a 14-foot-deep (4.3 m) carousel (or ring-shaped) dining floor on which sat patrons' tables, chairs, and dining booths. Its floor revolved on a track and wheel system weighing roughly 125 tons, moving at a rate of one revolution every 47 minutes. It was the oldest operating revolving restaurant in the world at the time of its closure. Due to the balance and precision of its design, the floor's rotation is accomplished using just a single 1½-horsepower motor.The restaurant was designed by John Graham & Company and styled after the La Ronde they had built atop the Ala Moana Center in 1963. SkyCity was a fine dining restaurant with a casual dress code and served Pacific Northwest cuisine and new American cuisine, providing local seafood, steak, chicken and vegetarian items among others.The restaurant was closed in September 2017 for the $100 million "The Century Project" renovation at the Space Needle, with plans for the dining area to be outfitted with a clear glass floor. The glass floor would enable diners to view the city below them and also the mechanics that operate the revolving floor. When completed, SkyCity was to have the world's first revolving restaurant with a glass floor. It was replaced with the Loupe Lounge, a cocktail lounge that opened in the restaurant's former space on April 9, 2021.
