The countdown is on to the 50th Anniversary of
Century 21 Seattle World's Fair! It goes without saying that the Space Needle is probably one of the most photographed icons in our region.
Ground breaking for the Space Needle began April 17th, 1961. A favorite viewpoint of
The Needle is
Kerry Park on Queen Anne. One of these days maybe I'll see if I can collect enough images from this vantage point and create a time-line slideshow of the Seattle Skyline featuring the Space Needle. Please let me know if someone has already done this (or plans on doing this) because it's something I'd really like to see!
The top photo is my mother's uncle and his family on a trip from Canada to Seattle visiting Kerry Park in 1963.
And the bottom photo is an undated photo I took from Kerry Park - I'm guessing it's about 1978. If you have any ideas to help me date it, please let me know.
