The world failed to notice but it was big news in eastern Washington. I got to go (I was 9) but it didn't impress me as much as my parents' stories of the '62 Seattle fair, which still seemed wildly futuristic 12 years after the event. And no Elvis movie was made about Expo 74. In Junk shops the '62 Seattle stuff always gets overpriced and put in the special display cases but the '74 Spokane stuff is treated like the rest of the junk. Poor Expo 74.
