What Were the Steps Taken to Recover from the Economic Downturn Suffered during the War
The Century 21 Exposition and the World's Fair was hosted by Seattle in the year 1962. This was done in order to combat the decline of downtown Seattle due to the economic downturn that was suffered during the war. The fair was hosted with a futuristic theme and several iconic structures were involved as a part of the fair such as Space Needle, Monorail, and the complete Seattle Center.

While the project proved to be a success, revitalizing Seattle's civic center, it had the unforeseen effect of creating a Seattle transportation nightmare as people began to return to the city and the same problem that exists to this day.
