The Seattle Center
How As was mentioned on the previous page, the 1963 World's Fair was held in Seattle. There was much futurism, and much  optimism here. The fifties, and early sixties were a time when we all thought that we could do anything to which we set our minds. This was a large fair, with many exhibits, buildings, a midway, and even a monorail from the fairgrounds, to the middle of downtown Seattle, to give visitors a ride on what they were told was the transportation system of the future. The old fairgrounds are now the Seattle Center, with the Space Needle as their centerpiece. There has been some updating, and some replacement of temporary structures, by more substantial buildings; but much of the place remains as it was. In particular, there is the Pacific Science Center, the singing fountain, the gardens, the midway, and the Space Needle itself.
