    Future site of the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World’s Fair). In 1956, the City of Seattle’s Civic Center Advisory Committee selected land surrounding the existing Civic Auditorium at the foot of Queen Anne Hill for the site of the Century 21 Exposition and a future Civic Center for the city. In 1957, the city acquired the property through condemnation. With a few exceptions, including the Civic Auditorium (which was transformed into the Opera House) and the National Guard Armory (which became the Food Circus), most existing buildings were demolished. This set of photos documents the site before demolition began.

    International Logging Championship held at the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair)."Climaxing Century 21, the great Pacific Northwest dream-come-true, is the International Logging Championship which epitomizes the region's major economy. No event is more proper as the C-21 count-down ticks away. At stake for the loggers, is the coveted title of fact and legend: 'Bull of the Woods' the most feared and respected logger of the camp." (“Bull of the Woods” Battle. Tacoma: Academy of Communicative Arts & Sciences, 1962, http://cdm15015.contentdm.oclc.org/u?/p15015coll3,2336.) Memorial Stadium was built in 1948 in memory of former Seattle high-school students killed in World War II. Owned by the Seattle School District, it was leased to the Century 21 Exposition for the Seattle World’s Fair. The Fair’s opening ceremonies and many large events were held there.
