Title: Two Seattle World


1
Two Seattle Worlds Fairs1909-1962
  • A Comparison

2
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition1909
  • The A-Y-P Exposition took place between June 1
    and October 16, 1909, drawing more than
    three million people.

3
AYP 1909
  • Visitors came from around the state, the nation,
    and the world to view hundreds of educational
    exhibits.
  • AYP Expo was on the University of Washington
    campus.

4
AYP 1909
  • The Pay Streak was the A-Y-P Exposition's midway
    area. It offered (for a price) a dizzying array
    of carnival rides, souvenirs, refreshments, and
    educational exhibits.

6
Chinese Village-AYP-1909
  • Unlike many other countries who participated in
    the AYP, the Chinese govt did not sponsor its
    exhibit or officially participate in planning its
    exhibit at the fair.
  • The roughly 800 Chinese living in Seattle in 1909
    helped finance the construction and management of
    the village.

7
Chinese Village-AYP-1908
  • Virtually all of the Chinese living in the region
    as the fair approached were said to have
    contributed 4 each (nearly 80 in 2009 dollars!)
    toward the construction of the Chinese Village. 

8
Chinese Village-AYP-1909
  • Why do you think it was significant that there
    was a Chinese Village at the Worlds Fair?

9
Chinese Pride
  • By the 1880s hostility against the Chinese became
    so intense that Chinese laborers, including those
    in Washington state, were often attacked and
    expelled from their communities.
  • In 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act restricted
    Chinese immigration to the United States.
  • Chinese living in Seattle made the village happen
    anyway.

10
Century 21- 1962
  • The Century 21 World's Fair was held at the site
    now known as the Seattle Center from April 21 to
    October 21, 1962. It attracted 10 million
    fairgoers and was held in part to commemorate
    Washington's first World's Fair, the 1909 A-Y-P
    Exposition.

11
Elvis

Motto of Century 21
  • Better Living Through Modern Science
  • How was the Space Needle a symbol of the future?

14
  • Brainstorm
  • What were some world events that took place
    between Seattles two worlds fairs? (1909-1962)

15
What is a Scrapbook?
  • A scrapbook is a book with blank pages used for
    the mounting and preserving of pictures,
    clippings, or other mementos (dictionary.com).
  • A scrapbook includes mementos of everyday life,
    not just historical records.
  • Some memories that might appear in a scrapbook
    are an advertisement for a theatre show, a movie
    ticket stub, a menu from a restaurant, souvenirs
    from vacations, the receipt for your first car, a
    photo of your first house, awards at work,
    diplomas for education, holiday celebrations,
    family events, and photos.
