The Fair that Put Seattle on the Map

I am a rare breed. Not only was I born in Seattle, all four of my grandparents were firmly ensconced in the city I’m proud to call home. I count myself lucky to belong to a rare cohort of original Seattleites who not only love their city, but are fortunate to possess a sense of place and belonging that goes back a generation or two, with familial memories that tap deep into the 20th century.
