Seattle’s Forgotten World’s Fair: The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Synopsis
In 1909, looking to shed its rough frontier past, the young city of Seattle decided to host a World’s Fair in the same grand spirit as those that preceded it in Chicago and St. Louis. Seattle welcomed the world to the University of Washington campus where visitors walked among palaces, saw new inventions that would change the world, and mined for mirth on the Paystreak - AYP’s Midway. Featuring thousands of historical images, rare archival footage, and contemporary interviews, the film explores the fair’s historical reverberations.
Seattle’s Forgotten World’s Fair: The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (2009) is a documentary and history film directed by John Forsen, released on October 17, 2009 with a runtime of 58m. It stars Tom Skerritt.
