I recently got in touch with World’s Fair historian Bill Cotter
who provided these excellent candid shots taken at the ’62 Seattle World’s Fair. If you’re interested in getting photos from the ’62 Expo or other fairs, check out his website at
www.worldsfairphotos.com where you can buy copies.
You can also find his book,
The 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair at Amazon. Once again, thanks to Bill for providing the snapshots.
Enjoy!

We, as Americans, liked orange back then didn’t we? I say we go back to those heady days of orange-y yore. Just think of how we, as a people, would be happier if we simply wore more orange and painted more stuff orange. Orange = happiness.
I agree! It’s time for the orange revolution to ressurect itself!
I concur.
Did anyone happen to notice the article in the Times about the Renovation (capital R if ever it were needed) of King Street Station. Lowered ceiling? For real? Are you kidding me. Only in Seattle folks.
I love that all the men are in suits and the ladies in skirts.
I concur, Susan! Nowadays you see people walk outside in their jammies acting like they look good when they just look hideous and lazy. No one dresses up to do anything anymore. It is a dying art.
Andrew: Ya, it’s pretty hard to believe that they’d put a drop ceiling up to cover something so amazing.
