The Century 21 Exposition is best remembered for the creation of Seattle's Space Needle and Alweg Monorail. Much of what was created still exists today, including the United States Pavilion which is now the Pacific Science Center.

2002 is the 40th anniversary of the Century 21 Exposition. Seattle Center is having its own 40th anniversary (see their press release) We hope to pass along information about any other events in Seattle surrounding the anniversary as soon as we have them.
