Who said print is dead? Ok, well maybe it's a little closer to death now that the sun has set on yet another Seattle icon. You could read all about it at this old school Pike Place Market newsstand as they regularly stocked everything from Jazz Times, Surfer Journal, Cigar Aficionado, and Spanish tattoo mags, to Italian gossip tabloids, Russian comics and the ever popular Buddhist Times. First & Pike used to carry 180 different newspapers and over 2,000 magazines, but as things went increasingly digital, those numbers began to dwindle after a solid 40-year run, First & Pike News said their goodbyes just before New Years in 2019.

An 80s inspired take on one of Seattle's most famous landmarks.

As one of the two bookend clubs on either side of the Denny Way freeway overpass (the Off Ramp being the other) that ruled the Seattle scene during the early 1990s, when the city was discovered by the world. RKCNDY was a huge, two-level, warehouse-type space that had amazing sound and was an all around great place to catch a band most any night of the week. The closure of RKCNDY in 1999 was a hard hit to the all-ages scene, especially with Seattle's Teen Dance Ordinance still firmly in place for another three years.

The large 1940s era Loback Meat Co. sign that spans the aisle of the main arcade in Seattle's Pike Place Market is well known by locals and tourists alike as you simply can't ignore its beautiful vintage neon glow as you make your way through the market. While the sign is still there decades later, the butcher shop itself, however, did not persevere. Opened in 1946, Loback’s was one of several butcher shops at the Market, selling specialties such as homemade sausages, goose, and luau pigs in addition to the more standard fare of steaks and hams. After a 40 year run, they closed their doors in 1986, and two separate attempts to revive it failed, closing for good in 1989. Nowadays, the historic space is filled by a jelly and chocolate shop.

The Off Ramp Cafe was a dive situated in an odd no-man's land corner of downtown Seattle. it was trapped between a concrete off-ramp from southbound Interstate 5 and the tangled intersections of Eastlake Avenue, Stewart Street, and John Street, and wedged below a massive wall of the Denny Way bridge over I-5. Finding the rather small 300 person capacity joint was a challenge and parking was near impossible, but those factors didn't prevent the venue from being a destination for bar patrons and indie music lovers alike. The venue was at the heart of the grunge explosion in the ’90s that changed Seattle and music forever

The OK Hotel was a cafe, bar, and music venue located under the viaduct in Seattle's Pioneer Square district. Founded in 1988, the club came to an end with the Nisqually earthquake of February 28, 2001, which damaged numerous buildings in the historic district. Most widely recognized outside of Seattle as a prominent location in the movie Singles (1992), the OK Hotel was one of numerous active Seattle rock venues during the celebrated local scene of the late eighties.
