The Seattle Center Monorail opened on March 24, 1962 to serve the Century 21 Exposition. Eight million people rode the monorail during the 6 months that the fair was open. Today, the monorail continues to serve two million passengers a year on the one mile route between Seattle Center and Westlake Center.
