Yesterday, we got the opportunity to celebrate the 4th of July at Sky View Observatory at their SOLD OUT event. It was like a good all-American picnic but 73 floors high! The venue was decorated with blue checkered table cloths and adorable floral arrangements with mini American flags. Plus of course, you can’t forget that good old red, white and blue!
FOOD
The food menu featured wings, hot dogs and flatbread pizzas. Beverages included a specialty 4th of July drink and an open bar! They served house beer, house wine, prosecco and the Red, White and Blueberry cocktail! Hoan and I’s favorites were of course the hot dogs and the buffalo wings!!
Activities
We were able to connect with some other friendly event goers as well. And to our surprise, we met a couple visiting from Dallas who decided to celebrate the holiday weekend in Seattle and came to the 4th of July event at Sky View which we thought was so cool! Above all the dialogue though, we were able to bask in live music from the amazingly talented, Emily McVicker. My favorite part about live music is jamming to covers we know, lol. Emily played some really well known artists out now but also threw it back too with ‘Dont go Chasin’ Waterfalls’ by TLC, ‘Dear Future Husband’ by Meghan Trainor and ‘Marry You’ by Bruno Mars.
Sunset
There’s something about being up so high and being able to watch the sunset over the water that brings a sense of calmness though. I guess it’s the romantic in me that just loves watching it with Hoan. The best part about the sunset though was being able to see all the lights come on and see Seattle come to life in a different way! If you ever visit Sky View, we would highly recommend staying till dusk because the lights are worth the sight!
Fireworks
The night winded down with the long awaited fireworks display off of Lake Union in Seattle. I have to say, this was my first time actually looking down at fireworks versus craning my neck up to watch them AND without that annoying, ear-wrenching “boom” of fireworks and let me tell you, it was really nice haha.
Thank you to Sky View Observatory for having us and hosting such a fun 4th of July event! If you’re interested in seeing the fireworks display from 73 floors above without the HUGE crowd and the LOUD noises, I’d highly recommend Sky View! Have a great weekend beauties, unitl next time! xoxo
