Relax, folks. The white plume of smoke coming out of the top of the Space Needle is apparently nothing to worry about.After a Twitter-wide freak-out over what the hell was rising out of the top of Seattle’s most iconic landmark, followed by a visit from the KIRO-7 news chopper, we now have confirmation of what it is: dishwasher steam and/or smoked-salmon smoke.Per KING-5:
