In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Seattle World's Fair, the Space Needle is getting a new paint job (Well, a second new paint job. The first new paint job was earlier this year, when it was repainted with the original Galaxy Gold).
From now until October 20th, people can vote for what design the Space Needle should be topped with for sixth months. The options are pretty cool, from retro graphics to trees to fishies to an umbrella!
