Happy New Year, Seattle! In case you missed it, fireworks returned to the Seattle Space Needle to ring in the new year, and it was the first live fireworks display since 2019. To commemorate such a return, the Needle went big with the display using both pyrotechnics and drones. Here are the best pictures and videos of the Seattle Space Needle fireworks!
To start off, here’s a bright set of photos showing off both the fireworks and the drone display.
Happy New Year 2023! Smoke obstructed #fireworks from my view point from the very beginning, but the drone display was very cool to watch. Here are a few shots from the #TMobileNYE at #SpaceNeedle in #Seattle. pic.twitter.com/xYKmaVjMmX

Seattleites had plenty to say on the internet about the drones dropping in late. But hey, a show is better than nothing right?
If you missed the fireworks, here’s the whole show condensed into a video thats under a minute long.
Happy New Year from Seattle! Here’s a timelapse of the fireworks & drone show at the Space Needle (warning: flashing lights).
Also, biking was the most efficient way to get to Seattle Center/SLU & back home (Beacon Hill) for me #SEAbikes #NewYear2023 #bikePNW pic.twitter.com/3lmyfE8mza

Not all of us have the ability to get up close and personal with the needle so seeing views of the fireworks from up close are always great to see.
An incredible firework display/show at the Space Needle last night in downtown Seattle, Washington. Very impressive. Better than I had anticipated, and I had an excellent view from my hotel terrace.
This might be my new NYE tradition!
Happy New Year, everybody!
