Wow. I watched it built, then my parents took me to the fair. I was 8, but I remember how upbeat the whole thing was. Now I’m retired, rural, avoid Seattle like the plague, and WISH I could retire to 1962.

we lived north of Bothell in the 50s & 60s. population of Bothell in 1967 was around 2K. Great place to grow up. Lots of out of town family and friends visited us the year of the fair so we went many times. It was a great time and Seattle was so nice then. Age 14 I went to the NY Fair in 1964 but the Seattle fair was way better. I liked the "Wild Mouse" ride😊

@@brianarbenz1329 Seattle's Worlds Fair, was one of very few Fairs of that type, to actually end up making money!...The Civic leaders who spearheaded the creation, were excellent men and women, ahead of their time. They tailored the Fair to be compact, but in a great location, and also to retain some of it's structures for an eventual Seattle Center for activities. We can see that their plans did work!...For a great read about our wonderful Fair, read a book by a local long-time journalist, named Don Duncan...he really nailed the very mystique of the entire project, and caught the progressive spirit that drove Seattle to excellence back then! If you really care, find his book, which was published many years ago, but likely is in our library system. His final chapter, describing how hundreds of Fair workers lined the sidelines at the Stadium, holding hands (many crying), as Joe Gandy, the local Civic leader and President of the Fair, counted down the final seconds of the great event, Declaring, "Now, our wonderful Seattle World's Fair is consigned to History" It will bring a tear to your eye!

I was there with my family when I was 12. I wanted to go in the Space Needle so bad, but my parents didn't want to. I can't remember why. I guess it was too expensive or something. I still would love to go up in it, lol. I can't believe how polite and patient the people were then, waiting for them to open the gate, and so orderly when they did come in. I don't *even* want to think what it would be like today. And I'd forgottten. Everybody dressed up then, even to go to the grocery store, high heels and all. When we were in the Japanese pavillion, the people in this one booth, I think it was for phones, asked my family to pose for their catalog. I don't know if they ever used the pictures or not, cuz it was a Japanese catalog, so we never got to see it. ☹️

As a life-long resident of Puget sound/Seattle area, I am now really upset, that the cool restaurant that was once at the Needle, has been replaced by some tacky "sandwich bar, and a tiny booze bar!" WHY did this happen? That restaurant rotated once an hour, providing expansive views of Seattle, etc. WHY did they replace that interesting restaurant? I was there a few times at the restaurant--the food was OK, the prices were jacked up a little, but it was worth the price, just for the view! I know that the outer walkway has been improved a lot, but the original situation was still very good!

What this film clip does not show...was the immediate tragedy that happened, a few minutes after that "fly-by" with the jets happened!...one of those jets flamed out, and the pilot, who was headed North, used his parachute--after trying to steer the plane towards Lake Washington, to avoid hitting folks on solid ground. Unfortunately, the plane did NOT go where the pilot tried to guide it. It crashed into Mountlake Terrace, hitting two homes, and killing an elderly couple in one of the houses. There are photos of this event on the Internet. Many years later, I was working next to a guy who had been a teenager, living just one block over from the crash site. He said locals thought there had been an earthquake! Poor Seattle--we tried so hard to have a smooth opening day, and then this horrible thing happened!...But the Year 1962 was very hard on Seattle anyway!...Remember Oct 12, 1962? That incredible (now thought to be a Category 2 Hurricane!) mega-storm, with wind gusts to 100mph, hit Seattle hard, as well as Oregon, and even into BC. Earlier in the summer, a smaller Tornado formed over the Laurelhurst area, went East across Lake Washington, and hit the childhood home of Bill Gates, in Juanita!...Not much damage really, but still a weird weather event. I was a "paper boy", age 15, delivering my newspapers (Seattle Times), when the sky on Oct 12, became very dark, and the wind went quickly from 10mph to 60-70 mph plus, in the Greenlake area where I lived!...All in all, 1962 did not treat Seattle well, but the Fair was an incredible, important Civic milestone for Seattle. I attended several times, and will never forget how exciting that Fair was--and it drew 10,000,000 people over it's six-month run, and was featured on the cover of LIFE magazine, twice!

It never caught on as a real "mass transit" alternative...but Seattle, to it's credit, has kept it still running, thanks to creating a special tool shop!...The original company, ALWEG, shut its doors many years ago. Back then, the idea of elevated monorails was exotic, futuristic, etc. But way too expensive and the support structures would have ruined many city streets. In 1968, Seattle offered to voters a thing called "Forward Thrust", requesting many millions of dollars to create a system similar to the BART system in San Francisco!...The tightwad Seattle populace did not go for it...which explains why our traffic situation now is so awful!

@@360Turn You call druggies in homeless camps beautiful? People's feces are all over the downtown sidewalks and used needles to inject heroin and meth are littered all over the city! The new industrial design buildings are an eye sore along with Lumen Field and the Mariner's Baseball stadium. Nothing short of butt ugly! Combine this with all the far left communist leaders in the port of Seattle, mayor's office and liberal whackers who don't want a police force and you've got yourself a cesspool of shit to be proud of! Congratulations Seattle! You've made it to Shithole status!!!

Can you envision the music playing of the 1962 world's fair panning video shots of Seattle's homelessness, needles and feces on the streets, homeless tents, druggies sleeping on the streets, graffiti sprayed everywhere and garbage scattered across the streets?

I wonder why the space needle was originally orange. It's ugly. So much better white.

I loved the original orange. I remember riding with my mom to pre-school on her way to work at Libby Glass. I'd watch the elevators cycle up & down as we traveled along the viaduct (which we are now losing, due to earthquake concerns). The waterfront area looked a bit different then - magical to a pair of four year old eyes.

Orange was a popular color back then. Household appliances and furniture were this awful burnt orange. I can't stand it now and I couldn't back then. 😖

This was simply horrible. No narrative and a loop of, ahem, ... challenging ... music. What need does this adequately satisfy? Maybe redo with narration, or at least music that doesn't give your ears cancer.

Dear precious one, please repeat after me with your whole heart, "Father God, I'm a sinner and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe in the Good News that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that You resurrected Him from the dead in order to restore my relationship with You. Through my belief and faith in Jesus death, burial and resurrection, I am saved. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. Please guide my life and help me do Your will, Your way through the Holy Spirit. This I pray in the powerful, loving and glorious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. Amen!" 🙏 Dear friend, may Father God our Creator, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and The Holy Spirit bless you, lead you, guide you and keep you in His abundantly loving care now and for all eternity! Amen! 🙏
