How come seemingly all the announcers from the 50s and 60s have the same stereotypical nasally voice? 🥴

0:22 Crosby when someone touches him

Go Canucks

3:21 that kentucky fried chicken is corner of bellevue wah and main I remember in 90's

That drummer is nasty. He could play with James Brown

And now we have the KRAKEN!!

Hey, those are analog clocks! I'm old enough to recognize them, but I can't remember how to read them

Try as I may, I couldn't be there in person as I was only a year old and in the Bay area, probably screaming bloody murder with a diaper full of gifts. But I was there in my heart and some 8 years later I would be there in person 🤨👍

This fair sparkled with optimism, hope, wonder and whimsy!! The world is far too cynical, divided and unhappy to ever see something like this ever again. Given all the crime, filth, homeless people, drugs, etc. on today's Seattle streets someone who visited this wondrous fair in '62 would be sick to their stomach seeing what Seattle has fallen to.

Fight Vancouver Canucks, Fight for Blue, Green and White! Canucks Fight

I grew up in the Lake Hills area. Spent a lot of time in Downtown Bellevue in my High School years. I rember Bellevue Square I worked at Frederick & Nelson felt so lucky to work there! To see all the buildings in this video brings back great memories! Thanks for posting it.

Why isn't the Pirate flag no longer flown at the top of the Space Needle during SEA-FAIR ?

Very cool.

Uma bela homenagem!

Cool.

Good chit

Wonderful video, I wish I was there though I was born in Seattle in 1979! Much to late for me to go😆👀😎👍♥

I was gonna comment about the kraken and how it was left out until I realized this was 11 years ago

NICE shots!!!! THANKS for loading these!!!!!!!! LIFE-LONG blimp buff!!!!!!

This documentary reveals life in another time, not just the fair's opening.

This was also CBS's last NHL telecast of that era, as NBC outbid CBS for the NHL United States national TV package later that year. I think CBS did do three NHL telecasts after that: two games of a 1976 exhibition series between NHL clubs and Soviet Clubs (Buffalo Sabres vs. Moscow Wings and Philadelphia Flyers vs. Soviet Central Army), and Game 6 of the 1980 Stanley Cup finals (the New York Islanders' first of four straight championships).

I assume their name would be considered politically incorrect these days? Too bad. It sounds so much better than Kraken and should have been used instead.

Just a friendly question: why should it take me about 4 hours to download this? Isn't that a bit long?

Hello! Curious to know how I might. E able to use some of this footage for a project I am working on. How would I go about getting permission? Thanks 😊

bell lanes became a good guys right? toy's is closed forever now.

...mais alguém tiete aqui! A 'assisto' num canal da NET que toca músicas/o estilo LOUNGE um dos meus favoritos. Além de acalmar (como precisamos num mundo complexo).

Seattle native here..I was 15yo when I attended this fair...as an adult, I realized that this amazing event was the greatest, most important civic event to happen in the last half of the 20th century...It really put Seattle on the map, and drew 10,000,000 people during the six-month run...and the very futuristic thoughts of the people who conjured up this event, left some of that fairgrounds to be enjoyed by several ensuing generations of NW folks.,,,also, it was one of only two World's Fairs to actually make a profit, finishing around a half-million dollars ahead of the game!...our civic leaders were so visionary, and we were so lucky to have them in our midst....Sadly, during the flyover on opening day, one of the jets veered out of formation...the pilot bailed out due to engine failure...the plane continued North for a few miles, but eventually crashed in Mountlake Terrace, and into a home, killing the two elderly residents.

I believe that's actually Hal's older brother Mack, and not Hal, who co-wrote the song with Burt Bacharach.

Somebody feed the Phil- Oaxaca

That’s not what I expected Carlson’s voice to sound like

"...depicting the growth and unity of the United States." Ah, the mythologies, set amidst the backdrop of brightly shining White America (without the underlying years of real 'growth' to come after.

This is the closest I can get to visiting my hometown. I barely recognise it today. The few remaining buildings from my time seem out of place, awaiting certain demolition. I feel like a ghost when I go there.

WOW - Seattle was so much nicer back then. People took pride in their culture, diversity, and inclusion. Even though Seattle has a large diverse population in the present days, segregation and intolerance from one another have become dominant in the 21st century. There was a lot of pride, hope, and determination to show the world what Seattle had to offer back in 1962. Unfortunately, the city of Seattle has become a dangerous place throughout the years. Visiting downtown is very risky and anyone could get shot, mugged, or get assaulted at any given moment. The sad part is that law enforcement has their hands tied on what they can do to address crime due to state regulations. Compare this video over another video named Seattle is dying - it is an eye opener.

Fantastico

I was there. I was 2 years old. I have a fascination with water to this day. I have one extremely vivid memory. The pearl divers. They would dive down and surface with a fake pearl in a fake oyster. I remember it like it was yesterday, and I am 62 years old.

I used to Chase the kids around the house singing the blob song it was a fun game they would run and scream and terror of course they knew it was a game

Am I the only one hear like, "DANNY KAYE!" Squeeee!

Summer 2020: “I’m still searching for a favorite NHL team, I just love the sport in the meantime.” Fall 2021: “Gooooooo Kraken! Tur-Bo Tan-Nev!”

I was 8 years old living in Seattle when the fair opened.My school (Latona) was at the north end of Lake Union so we could see the Space Needle being constructed from several of our classrooms. When it opened, our school loaded up us on school busses and we went to the fair. I loved the Science Center as I was into SciFi and there was an exhibit showing the relative weight of things on different planets and the moon. There was also a ride where you would go round and round and the floor would drop down and you would be held to the side of the ride via centrifugal force. Just like the astronauts.

Beware of the blob!

Linda demais essa igreja de São Francisco 🙌🙌🙌

Rest in Peace Ralph Carmichael

Maravilloso Bebo simply: *BEST*

Por que não fala que a decoração feita em madeira depois revestida com ouro foi feita por escravos que eram verdadeiros artistas? Vocação artística do nosso povo: uma das grandes heranças oriundas do povo africano!
