Seattle City Center put on an 8 minute firework show at the Space Needle every year. This is a free event that you can share with 20,000 other Seattleites. A definite must see.

It just makes the Seattle skyline. For $18.00 you can take an elevator for 41 seconds to the observation deck that is about 52 stories high, to a 360 degree view of Seattle. You can see the Cascade Mountains to the east, the Olympic Mountains to the west, Mount Rainier  to the South, and to the north, Queen Anne and the northern suburbs. Along with the mountains you will also see Puget Sound, Lake Washington and Lake Union. There is a wonderful gift shop at the bottom, a free emailed picture of yourself taken before you go to the top, and a revolving restaurant just below the observation deck. Plenty to see, as much time as you would like at the top, and a picture for $18.00 wow what a great value.
