Order an Image
The Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition (AYPE) was a world's fair held in Seattle in 1909, publicizing the development of the Pacific Northwest. The fairgrounds were located on the campus of the University of Washington. Several of the buildings and the landscaping survive, continuing to shape the layout of the campus. This photo shows the crowds of fair-goers surrounding the Music Pavilion at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. The South Gates are visible on the right; this entrance allowed visitors access from the 10th Avenue Street Car Line on Montlake Boulevard.

Frank H. Nowell (1864-1950) was the official photographer of the AYPE, and his photographs were displayed at the fair and used in many official publications.
