Rainier. It's fucking weird, people there worship that mountain.
But anyway, yeah I agree the Space Needle is a lame terrorist target, somewhat symbolic but if you're going for symbolism like you said, what about the Statue of Liberty, or the Lincoln Memorial, the Gateway Arch, the Liberty Bell...
But there'd be no symbolism in going after some podunk town in Kansas, bringing us back to the original point...
