A little more perspective
The tower operator defines the endpoint explicitly in its facts page. The saucer-shaped observation deck is a recognizable part of the outline, but stopping there would leave out the needle above it.
At these catalog values, the Space Needle stands about 15.4 meters taller than the Washington Monument. Both structures share a ground baseline here, so Seattle’s and Washington’s terrain elevations do not affect the comparison.
Quick facts
Seattle’s Space Needle reaches 605 feet, or 184.404 meters, to its aircraft warning beacon. Its observation levels sit below that tip.
