Just got around to reading this. What a great story.

I also enjoyed a related story that was linked in Al's article. It's titled Pastries, Filled With History.

That is a great story. Funny thing is that I grew up in Seattle and I'm (technically) a member of the tribe, and I was totally unaware of this company and the community it supported.

I am familiar with the Prefontaine Building where the company started, but I had no idea that the drapery company was there. It's a cool curved-triangular building on a curved-triangular block.

Seattle is transforming. Every week or two there is an elegy for a building or a neighborhood like the beginning of this article. Someone who has been gone for ten or 20 years would barely recognize the place.
