In 1959, Seattle hotel executive Edward E. Carlson visited Stuttgart, Germany, and was inspired by a broadcast tower with a restaurant on top.
He sketched his idea for a similar structure on a napkin, envisioning a centerpiece for the upcoming 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle
Construction began in April 1961, with a massive concrete pour involving 467 trucks—the largest continuous pour ever attempted in the West at the time.
