Jade Pagoda Restaurant Seattle Jimmy Woo's Jade Pagoda! This #Broadway institution was opened in 1943 by the Woo family, and (intentionally) didn't change much over its 6+ decades, with a rotary payphone, a killer jukebox & signature neon "Cocktails" sign. With cheap, stiff AF drinks & loyal regulars, Jade Pagoda had that old working-class #CapitolHill character & was part of a (now seemingly dying) breed of mid-century Chinese American restaurants/lounges/cocktail bars in #Seattle.

the Dog House, a Seattle restaurant/bar located at 7th Avenue and Bell Street (at 2230 7th Avenue). Run by Laurie Gulbransen (1913-2000) for most of 60 years, it closed in on January 31, 1994. The Dog House was an epoch of Seattle history, a virtually non-stop, open-24-hours run of food, booze, music and fellowship The Dog House was a great place where truly people of all types and ages went. Their famous sign was true -- all roads did lead to the Dog House. In some ways I think it is possible to date the death of old Seattle to when the Dog House closed. After 1993 is when the high tech, hip Seattle, the darling of the national press city really took off.

Before it was the Hurricane, the space was the also-awesomely-divey, also-24-hours the Dog House for approximately a grazillion years—and before that, it was another 24-hour place called the Bohemian Continental, which moved into the building in the 1920s, meaning almost 100 years of 24-hour service on the site.

Ernst Home Centers, Inc. was a chain of home improvement retail stores founded in Seattle, Washington, United States. Ernst was started in 1893 by Seattle brothers Charles and Fred Ernst and in 1960 became a division of Pay 'n Save, one of the largest retail companies in the Northwest. After a 1984 takeover of Pay 'n Save, Ernst was sold off and went public in 1994. Following several highly publicized lawsuits and a failed attempt to open larger stores, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1996 and liquidated in early 1997. At the company's peak, it operated 95 stores in 12 western U.S. states. This design is based on Ernst's 1970's logo which was in place until their first rebranding in 1980.

The peanut butter brand known as Sunny Jim was manufactured in Seattle, Washington by Germanus Wilhelm Firnstahl in 1921 after he moved to Seattle from Wisconsin and bought a peanut roaster. Firnstahl based the apple-cheeked character seen on the jars on his son, Lowell. By the 1950s, the brand accounted for nearly a third of all peanut butter sold in the Puget Sound area. The company was sold in 1979, though the large sign remained on the Airport Way South factory for decades after the peanut butter was no longer in production, resulting in the "Sunny Jim building" becoming a well-known landmark. In 1997, there was a fire at this plant (then owned by the city of Seattle) which destroyed the sign and a portion of the building.

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.

The Seattle Pilots were an American professional baseball team based in Seattle, Washington from 1969 to 1970. On April 1, 1970, they moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and became the Brewers.

Without question, The Hurricane Cafe was Seattle's quintessential greasy spoon and the combination of always being open and the great Belltown location meant it was where everyone seemed to wind up after taking in a show. Opened in 1994 by the people that owned Beths Café on Aurora, they wanted a new spot that could be another Beth's, yet closer to the city. As far as all-night diner's go, you couldn't beat The Hurricane Cafe. Breakfast anytime with huge omelets and bottomless hashbrowns as well as killer shakes, burgers, fries, and nachos. Oh, and they also had a full bar serving up some pretty mean drinks as well. It was probably best described as a comfortable dive bar that opened up a diner and made it awesome.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer was founded in 1863 as the weekly Seattle Gazette, and was later published daily in broadsheet format. It was long one of the city's two daily newspapers, along with The Seattle Times, until it became an online-only publication in 2009. The P-I is known for the iconic 13.5-ton, 30-foot neon globe which sat atop its headquarters since 1948 and featured the words "It's in the P-I" rotating around the globe and an 18-foot  eagle perched atop with wings stretched upwards.

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.
