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.
<p>This photo shows the Cascade Fountain with the Alaska Monument and the United States Government Building behind it. The Cascade Fountain was the central axis of the fairgrounds, designed by the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm.
</p><p>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.
