It was a moment in time that has forever change the image of Seattle from a somewhat obscure trading hub to a center of technology, change and innovation. As Paula Becker and Alan J. Stein write in the introduction to their book, “The Future Remembered, The 1962 World’s Fair and it’s Legacy,” “Seattle booster, business leaders, elected officials, and, finally, everyday citizens branded their bold undertaking America’s Space Age World’s Fair – at once staking claim to the country, the magnitude of space, and the whole wide world. Never again would Seattle be discounted.” During the next three weeks, we will use Queen Anne News archives and other sources to explore the 1962 World’s Fair, beginning today with articles discussing the birth of the Exposition. In coming issues, we will discuss the fair, itself, and it’s lasting legacy on the city and region. –Editor Jeff Bond
