International Fountain (Seattle Center)

The International Fountain was built for the 1962 Century 21 Exposition (World's Fair) as a centerpiece of the Seattle Center and was redesigned in 1995 to update its jets and control systems. The fountain has long been a focal point for public gatherings, performances, and summertime wading by visitors and residents. It is frequently referenced in local accounts of the World's Fair legacy and Seattle Center's civic life.
