The Century 21 Exposition was a world's fair held April 21, 1962, to October 21, 1962, in Seattle, Washington. Nearly 10 million people attended the fair.
As planned, the exposition left behind a fairground and numerous public buildings and public works; some credit it with revitalizing Seattle's economic and cultural life. The fair saw the construction of the Space Needle and Alweg monorail, as well as several sports venues (Washington State Coliseum, now climate Pledge Arena , currently under redevelopment) and performing arts buildings (the Playhouse, now the Cornish Playhouse, most of which have since been replaced or heavily remodeled. Unlike some other world's fairs of its era, Century 21 made a profit.
