With megaphones and signs in hand, Space Needle employees and supporters gathered below the iconic landmark Monday to protest the elimination of the Space Needle’s unionized photography department during contract negotiations.
Around 10 professional photographers, represented by UNITE HERE! Local 8, were in the process of negotiating their first contract. The photographers work both at the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass.
Photography lead Angela Acosta CQ said their union, which was recognized last May, was advocating for higher wages, improved healthcare and more respect from management. Acosta said the company cited the team’s termination due to more people using their own cameras, as well as a ramp – where photos are taken – slowing down guest movement to elevators. A Space Needle spokesperson also cited that fewer guests were accessing the photos taken at the attractions.
“The Space Needle is deeply grateful for the Photo Team’s contributions and value throughout their years of service and will discuss next steps with Local 8,” said in a statement.
Acosta says the photographers working at both tourist attractions are skilled capturing high-quality images, especially in dimly lit exhibits like Chihuly Garden and Glass, as well as spontaneous moments.
“People love to propose at the Space Needle,” says Acosta. “They don’t come preparedÉ I photographed four impromptu Valentines Day photo shoots.”
Acosta believes there is value in capturing important moments when visitors don’t or can’t take their own images – and hopes for a better outcome for photographers who have worked for years at the attractions.
“The rest of the company, they’re also shocked, they’re frustrated, they’re scared,” said Acosta. “If the Space Needle can shut down our department, who is to say that they can’t shut down another department that they think they don’t need.” 230072

In the shadow of a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, eight-year-old Remi Lusby, center, dressed as Yoda, crouches with the rest of his class of younglings during a Saber Guild lightsaber training during a May the 4th event at the Museum of Flight Sunday, May 4, 2025 in Seattle.

Remi just missed taking part in the training last year by one kid, so this year, he and his mom came early to sign up to ensure that Remi wouldn’t miss the fun.

This is the second year that the Museum of Flight has held a May the 4th specific Star Wars event. About ____ kids and adults attend this year’s galactic celebration featuring lightsaber training, live music, face painting, LEGO displays, a costume contest and more. The Museum of Flight intends to hold another May the 4th event next year. 229872
