Seattle's First World's Fair - from KING 5

Seattle's KING 5 television has a segment about the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition on their Evening Magazine:

It's a great synopsis of a little-known exposition that has since become overshadowed by the 1962 Century 21 Exposition.

With plans to celebrate the centennial, I suspect we'll be hearing a lot more about the A-Y-E in the months to come.

Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Centennial

2009 marks the 100th anniversary of Seattle's Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition and plans are already afoot for the new year.

There are two sites info about 2009's plans:
