Seattle Center

The futuristic Monorail system carries passengers in 2 min. from the Westlake Center to the Seattle Center (1 1/4 mi. north-west of the city centre). Built for the 1962 World Fair, it is now a leisure centre. A cableway runs across the main precinct where in the evening the International Fountain is illuminated. The Key Arena, the most recent addition to the Center and home to the Seattle Supersonics, offers professional basketball.
