History
The College Inn opened for business on June 1, 1909, strategically located at the entrance to the internationally acclaimed Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition that opened in Seattle on that same day. This exposition was organized in celebration of Seattle's rapid rise in prosperity, a result of its logistical gateway to the gold rush in the Yukon through Alaska. Seattle was fully alive! The exposition closed five months later. The College Inn lived on. The architects, contractors, and crew of workers who constructed The College Inn could never have envisioned how their entrepreneurial ingenuity and labor would later attain notoriety for being the only commercial structure built for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition that remains to this day.
