THE 1962 SEATTLE...

WORLDS FAIR

Century 21 World’s Fair

The Century 21 Exposition - also known as the
Seattle World’s Fair - was held between April 21
and October 21, 1962 drew almost 10 million
visitors. A defining moment in the history of
Seattle, this fair began life
as the brainchild of City
Councilman Al Rochester.
By 1955, the councilman
had generated considerable
interest in his idea from
decision makers at the
state and city level, and
in January Washington’s
legislature allocated $5,000
for a small commission to
study the feasibility of such
a fair. Public excitement,
spurred on by effective
advertisement, soon
gave the project further
momentum; in 1957
Seattle voters passed a $7.5
million Civic Center bond
for possible fairground
development, an amount
which was then matched
by the legislature.
The newly-expanded
Commission of 1957
decided on a theme for the Fair centered on
modern science, space exploration, and the
progressive future, wrapped in the broad concept
of a ‘Century 21 Exposition.’ A 28-acre parcel
of city-owned land near Queen Anne Hill was

eventually chosen for the site of the Fair over
larger and more nominally attractive sites such
as Fort Lawton (800 acres) and Sand Point Naval
Air Station (350 acres). The site’s proximity to
the downtown area, as well as the interest in
converting the Exposition’s permanent facilities
into a Civic Center after
the fair made this location
attractive to the planners.
Early planning continued
into 1960, when the
Century 21 Commission,
after considerable
lobbying, secured from the
International Bureau of
Expositions a certification
as an official World’s Fair.
International confirmation
provided a powerful
legitimacy among the
various entities the Fair’s
representatives sought
to attract as funders and
exhibit-builders. Enticed by
the publicity possibilities
inherent in the millions
of fair-goers projected to
appear, several giants of
American business decided
to sponsor exhibits in the
‘World of Commerce and
Industry’ section of the Exposition, including Ford
Motor Company, Boeing, and Bell Telephone.
The US Government, for its part, was exceedingly
interested in demonstrating the nation’s scientific

prowess to the world, and so committed over $9
million to the fair, chiefly to build the NASAthemed United States Science Exhibit (now the
Pacific Science Center). A number of foreign
governments provided the international flavor
crucial to a World’s Fair, and eventually 35 states
signed on as exhibitors. The tense geopolitical
mood of the early 1960s, however, limited
involvement of the Communist states; the Soviet
Union declined to participate, and the People’s
Republic of China, North Vietnam, and North
Korea were not invited.
To coordinate the overarching blueprint of all
these exhibits, respected designer Paul Thiry was
hired as chief architect of the Exposition. Thiry
was also tapped to design the Washington State
Pavilion (now the KeyArena), the conceptual

centerpiece of the ‘World of Tomorrow’ section.
Under the supervision of Thiry, the World’s Fair
Commission, and the city’s Civic Center Advisory
Committee, the ideas and plans of many differing
minds began to take shape in the fairgrounds at
the base of Queen Anne Hill, gradually creating
an aesthetically adventurous cityscape intended to
excite the visitor with futuristic visions of scientific
progress.
Reinforcing this sense of futurism was the ultramodern Monorail line developed to ferry tourists
from downtown Seattle to the fairgrounds. Those
searching for more conventional entertainments
would be catered to as well, with the construction
of the ‘Gayway’ (a small amusement park that
would become the Fun Forest) and ‘Show Street’
(the “adult entertainment” section, featuring a
