Space Needle BASE Jump: Thrill-Seekers Scale and Leap!
26 Jul
Summary
- Two men BASE jumped from the Space Needle last Friday night.
- Jumpers scaled the structure before leaping off with parachutes.
- Space Needle is working with police on an active investigation.
Two BASE jumpers performed a dangerous and unauthorized stunt, leaping from Seattle's Space Needle on Friday night. The individuals were captured on video scaling the landmark's exterior before deploying parachutes and descending over the city.
One jumper landed on the roof of the Hyatt hotel on 5th Avenue, while the other descended near Seattle Center. The Space Needle has confirmed it is aware of the illegal incident and is actively collaborating with the Seattle Police Department, reviewing security footage as part of the ongoing investigation.
This event mirrors a similar BASE jumping incident in 2024, where two individuals leaped from the Graystone building. Officials have not yet announced if the Space Needle jumpers have been identified or if any charges will be filed.
