New Year's Eve celebration in Seattle, Washington centers around the Space Needle. The 605-foot Space Needle at Seattle Center displays the world’s tallest structure-launched fireworks show with more than 2,000 pyrotechnic effects. The base of the Space Needle becomes the West Coast’s version of Times Square as more than 50,000 people gather below the tower to watch the fireworks shoot across the night sky with an estimated 400,000 people viewing the show from surrounding areas.
Nearby Pioneer Square is another party spot that comes alive after dark. The historic district at night is an entertainment district. Pioneer Square, with galleries, bookstores, and eateries has one of the city's liveliest collections of nightspots, from sports bars to hard rock taverns.
