International Fountain at Seattle Center

The International Fountain was built for the 1962 Century 21 Exposition (the Seattle World’s Fair) and remains a prominent, programmable water feature at Seattle Center. The fountain was redesigned in 1995 to improve accessibility and hydraulics, and it is often choreographed with music and lighting for public events. It functions as a recreational wading area in summer and as a visual centerpiece for Seattle Center gatherings.
