Some additional information on the exposition from Wikipedia; The Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition was a world's fair held in Seattle in 1909, publicizing the development of the Pacific Northwest. It was originally planned for 1907, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush, but the organizers found out about the Jamestown Exposition being held that year, and rescheduled. The fairgrounds became the campus of the University of Washington. The Exposition opened on June 1, 1909 and closed on October 16, 1909 with over 3,700,000 visitors. Shipping includes insurance.
