Seattle World's Fair Bubbleator
A rare mid-century plexiglass 'bubble' elevator from the 1962 Century 21 Seattle World's Fair, now mounted on a residential lot in Des Moines. Photographers can capture its retro-futuristic curves, reflections and textures; best visited at golden hour or blue hour for dramatic sky reflections. Expect street-side viewing only (no public access or interior shots), limited on-street parking—walk-in from nearby Redondo Beach is easiest. Lovely for mid-century/oddity shoots and local-history context.
