In the summer of 1964, at the height of Beatlemania, The Beatles travelled to Seattle as part of their first American tour.
More than 14,000 screaming fans watched the Fab Four perform live at the Coliseum (today called Climate Pledge Arena), paying just US$5 apiece for tickets to the sold-out show.
While visiting the city in the American Northwest, the band checked into The Edgewater Hotel, which had opened two years earlier for the 1962 World’s Fair.
During their stay at the waterfront property, the bandmates famously fished from the window of their suite, dangling their fishing poles over the waters of Elliott Bay to see what they could catch.
