Seattle World Fairs

Alaska Yukon Pacific Expo

This one-hour documentary celebrates the centennial of the  Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition otherwise known as Seattle first world's  fair. Launched in 1909, the AYPE was initially conceived to expand upon  Alaskan exhibits at the Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1905. The AYPE's  mission extended to encompass geographical, historical, ethnographic and  commercial display of the Pacific Rim.

History in Motion: Seattle World's Fair

The 1962 Seattle World's Fair is in full swing for this colorful film.  See people riding the Monorail and festive Gayway amusement attractions.

Seattle Monorail - World of Tomorrow (1962)

Before Seattle's Century 21 World's Fair opened, KING-TV broadcast a  series of live updates on the construction progress on the fairgrounds.  This episode aired shortly after the Alweg Monorail first started its  test runs. It was broadcast 47 days before the April 21, 1962 world's  fair opening. Alweg Inc. President Sixten Holmquist and engineer Gunther  Wengatz are interviewed. In one of the more amusing moments, the TV  station used its new 'creepy peepy' camera by bringing it onboard the  train for a live broadcast ride, something that was technically  difficult to achieve in 1962. Video and stability quality are not good  by today's standards, but the live broadcast was state of the art for  1962.
