Fun Fact:
Seattle commissioned the Monorail for the 1962 World's Fair to ensure ease of transportation to the event's location. It proved such a useful commodity that the city kept it around and to this day, Seattle's system is the only monorail that turns a profit.
The Extras:
The monorail arrives about every 10 minutes to transport people to and from the Seattle Center, so there's never a long wait.

The Seattle Center Monorail is the first full scale commercial monorail in the United States. Like the Space Needle , this train is a remnant of the 1962 World's Fair. Riding above ground, it takes passengers on a two-minute ride between two terminals: Westlake Center downtown and Seattle Center . Although short, the trip has nice views of Elliott Bay, downtown and the Capitol Hill area.
