No Caption: This postcard shows several buildings of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at night, outlined by electric lights. More than 20,000 electric lights were installed on the buildings for the fair. Held in Seattle to celebrate the development of the Pacific Northwest, the fair attracted 3.7 million visitors over the course of its run from June to October 1909. Although most of the fair's buildings have since been destroyed, several of them now serve as part of the University of Washington campus.
