One of three tv and radio broadcast towers on top of Queen Anne Hill, the KIRO tower, erected in 1958 reaches 609 feet into the night sky. (The Space Needle is 605 feet high.) The other two towers are comparable in height - KOMO at 556 feet and KING at 573 feet high. Each are taller than the 456 foot high Queen Anne Hill itself. The towers can be seen, day or night, for miles around.
