TheCentury 21 Exposition(also known as theSeattle World's Fair) was aworld's fairheld April 21, 1962, to October 21, 1962, inSeattle, Washington, United States.Nearly 10million people attended the fair during its six-month run.

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 (seeHistory of Seattle (1940–present)).The fair saw the construction of theSpace NeedleandAlweg monorail, as well as several sports venues (Washington State Coliseum, nowClimate Pledge Arena) and performing arts buildings (the Playhouse, now theCornish 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.

The site, slightly expanded since the fair, is now called theSeattle Center; the United States Science Pavilion is nowPacific Science Center. Another notable Seattle Center building, theMuseum of Pop Culture(earlier called EMP Museum), was built nearly 40years later and designed to fit in with the fairground atmosphere.
