Fun Fact! The stone building in the forefront was once G.O. Guys drugstore, and is where former Seattle Police Chief William Meredith was shot and killed by John Considine while defending himself against Meredith.

Ghost signs are intriguing remnants of any city's past, and the collection Seattle boasts is awesome. They provide tangible glimpses into another time and allow us to experience the past in the present. I am thoroughly enchanted by these signs, and with the help of local history and architectural resources I am slowly puzzling out some of the many stories associated with these early advertisements. I share what I've learned when possible, and often revisit these posts to include new information.
