Seattle's Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition and International Potlatch provide windows to the construction of a “cosmopolitan” urban ethos in the early twentieth century. Noting the ways this idea embraced Japan and the city's Japanese residents while serving white elites pursuit of urban and commercial advantage, the essay also comments on the space between cosmopolitan ideology and the persistence of anti-Japanese prejudice.
