Space Needle joins major U.S. landmarks in going dark for Earth Hour 2024

While it might be the most distinguished structure in Seattle's skyline, the Space Needle is going dark for an hour on Saturday to raise awareness against climate change.

Many landmarks around the world, including the Empire State Building, Willis Tower, and Niagara Falls, are "going dark" to shine a spotlight on nature loss and the climate crisis.

The exterior tower lights of the Space Needle will go dark from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. PST.
