Like so many people living in Western Washington back then, did you head north over the border to see the sights between May and October 1986? Other than delays waiting to cross at the Peace Arch or Sumas, what happy memories do you recall from 35 years ago? Bonus points if you attended the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair and Expo ’86, and you can compare and contrast!
