International Fountain, Seattle, WA
The International Fountain in Seattle , located at the center of the Seattle Center , is a beloved landmark and popular tourist destination. It is a fountain that features over 200 individual jets of water all illuminated by colorful light, each one dancing to the rhythm of an eclectic mix of music. Visitors can experience the fountain's mesmerizing movements and optical effects throughout the day and night.
The fountain was created in 1962 as part of the World's Fair held in Seattle, and was designed by artist Robert Kelly. The design is based on his idea of how music interacts with water. He wanted it to demonstrate the power of music to transform and unite people from different backgrounds, cultures, and countries. The fountain has become a symbol for Seattle Center, representing its mission to bring people together through art and culture.
The large central jet shoots up more than 80 feet into the air every two minutes as it is accompanied by classical and classic rock songs from around the world. Around it are small jets shooting up 8-16 feet high that continually change directions creating beautiful shapes with their spray patterns. The entire fountain is surrounded by an 18 foot radius pool filled with recycled water that’s constantly being refreshed in order to prevent standing water from becoming stagnant or smelly. The pool even has a built-in filtration system so visitors can walk right near or through the jets without getting wet.
Visitors often find themselves lingering around International Fountain after they've walked away from its show as they take in its surreal beauty while reflecting on its powerful symbolism - peace through harmony among all nations! Though it has been around for over five decades now, International Fountain continues to captivate new generations who marvel at its waterspouts' impressive choreography set against stunningly colorful lights until late into the night when it fully shuts off for maintenance purposes. It is truly a sight to behold!
