As we delve into the origin of and context surrounding the 1974 World’s Fair, or Expo ’74, Spokane’s storied past comes into view. We learn that the story of Spokane is inextricably intertwined with the story of the Spokane River.
“Having the river, harnessing the river, losing the river in that process, having a city, losing the city through expansion into the suburbs, and then somehow with Expo, recovering the river and recovering the city, I think, is an extraordinary story in itself.” - Bill Youngs, historian and author of “Fair and The Falls”
