“Official Guide to Pacific Northwest and Century 21 Exposition.” Menlo Park Lane Book Company, (1961).

Includes a section on the Seattle World’s Fair, April 21 – October 21, 1962.

 

The front cover includes an illustration of the 600-foot-tall Space Needle built for the fair (and still dominating the Seattle skyline}. Its design typifies the exciting material exhibited in the Century 21 Expo, which was then the first international exposition in the U.S. in 10 years.

 

The front cover also includes a photo by Ray Atkeson of Mount Shuksan towering above Heather Meadows. A broad, heavily traveled road winds among snow-fed lakes to reach this area in Mt. Baker National Forest in Washington State.
