Grey-Sloan Hospital's location has an elevation of 673.51 meters while Seattle's Station 19 Fire Station has an elevation of 616.62 meters. If the Space Needle (Elev. 631.91 meters) is located 14 km from Grey-Sloan & 11 km from Station 19 compute the OBSTRUCTION or CLEARANCE (in meters) of the line of sight at the Space Needle when observing Station 19 from Grey-Sloan Hospital. Consider curvature and refraction.
