Seattle’s Forgotten World’s Fair: The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition

2009 · 58 min Documentary History

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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Seattle’s Forgotten World’s Fair: The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A 2009 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
