Description

Seattle Washington World's Fair Space Needle and Alweg Monorail Postcard 27609 This postcard features the Alweg Monorail gliding above a Seattle street with the iconic Space Needle rising prominently in the background. Both the monorail and the Space Needle were built for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, officially known as the Century 21 Exposition. The Alweg Monorail, noted as the first of its kind in America, was designed as a futuristic transportation system and provided a swift connection between downtown Seattle and the fairgrounds. The sleek design of the monorail cars and the towering Space Needle together symbolized the fair’s theme of innovation and progress. In the scene, pedestrians, vintage automobiles, and storefronts such as Ray Burners and signage for Alweg add lively detail to the mid-century urban setting, highlighting Seattle’s transformation during the era.
