Construction workers renovating the Space Needle found a time capsule that was placed inside the observation deck in 1982.
The time capsule, installed 35 years ago, was removed from the iron beam it was placed into Friday at 8 a.m.
On the outside of the time capsule was a hand drawn replica of the original concept of the Space Needle. The image was originally drawn on a napkin by John Graham, the architect of the Space Needle and recreated on the time capsule by Graham himself.
The first object pulled out of the capsule was a work order from Gil Johanknecht, the father of the recently elected King County Sheriff, Mitzi Johanknecht.
Inside were also posters and magazines from the 1962 world's fair, letters and photos from Space Needle employees, menus from the Space Needle restaurant and concept drawings of different parts of the Space Needle.
