Seattle World’s Fair located in the heart of the city, one mile from the downtown area (1961).

The photo is from the “Official Guide to Pacific Northwest and Century 21 Exposition,” published by the Lane Book Company of Menlo Park, California (1961).

The compact exposition covers more than 74 acres with exhibits from more than thirty nations. The grounds are dominated by the lofty Space Needle and the vast Coliseum 21. After the exposition closed, most of these buildings remained as a new cultural center.

[Note 1: Mount Rainier, considered an active volcano, is visible in the distance]
