The Century 21 Exposition (also known as the Seattle World’s Fair) was a world’s fair held April 21, 1962, to October 21, 1962, in Seattle, Washington, United States. Nearly 10 million people attended the fair during its six-month run.
Here below is a wonderful color photo collection from
AJ LaTrace that shows the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair.
“Over a year ago I found two boxes of slides at the Village Discount Outlet in Chicago, IL. At first, I was curious and looked at a couple. I quickly realized that the content of the slides was very interesting and offered a glimpse of the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle. The photographs are very well composed and even show the personalities of the subjects. Each slide has a hand written title and caption and dates, which I’ve included on each image. The photos were taken by Eddie Sato, who was a Japanese American citizen interned by the United States during the second World War. These images offer the viewer a glimpse into the family’s life as they go on vacation to the World’s Fair in Seattle.”
