Seattle Center: History, Attractions, and FIFA 2026 Role

Seattle Center is a 74-acre cultural and civic campus that originated as the site of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, envisioned to be a permanent hub for arts, science, and community gatherings. Anchored by the Space Needle and Climate Pledge Arena, it now hosts the Pacific Northwest Ballet, Seattle Opera, museums like MoPOP and the Pacific Science Center, and festivals such as Bumbershoot and the Seattle Center Festál series. Its history stretches back to 1886, when David Denny donated the land for public use; major development began in the 1920s with the Civic Auditorium and Armory. In the late 1980s, consultants from Walt Disney Imagineering were hired to design a long-range redevelopment plan, which was ultimately rejected after public opposition over its high cost, commercialization, and proposed demolition of beloved historic landmarks. Today, the Center thrives as Seattle’s cultural heart—offering ballet, opera, public art, food halls, and major events like the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup Fan Celebration.

Trump, US Coast Guard, Seattle & Admiral Linda L. Fagan

Firing…
