Expo 1962 Seattle

The Century 21 Exposition is best remembered for the creation of Seattle's Space Needle and Alweg Monorail. Much of what was created still exists today, including the United States Science Exhibit which is now the Pacific Science Center.
It is also remembered for Elvis Presley's movie, It Happened at the World's Fair.
