Description: When I was in highschool in the mid-'80s and starting to delve into alternative culture, I kept hearing about this place called Cellophane Square in the University District. It was supposed to have punk and goth band t-shirts, records and tapes, all kinds of underground merchandise and was where you'd buy tickets to punk shows. Having grown up on the Eastside, hanging out at Bellevue Square as a kid, I pictured Cellophane Square as a punk rock mall. Imagine my surprise when I finally turned 16 and could drive to Seattle and found out Cellophane Square was a tiny, packed record store just off the Ave on 42nd (now the home of a Taco Del Mar).
Description: Seattle's Cellophane Square in the University District was a haven for band t-shirts, records and tapes, all kinds of underground merchandise and was where you'd buy tickets to punk shows. They opened in the 70s and made it all the way until 2009 before succumbing to the 'digital revolution' that took out out a lot of cool things, including many record stores.
