“We would consider Pioneer Square for a location
but most tourists buy their books before they come to Seattle.”
Still, it’d be nice for the locals. Ada’s is a kickass bookstore.
“PSQ is a destination, there aren’t many places to linger and hang out.
There’s a bar I like down there…
I did the Seattle Ghost tour once.
It was good for some interesting historic facts,
but I’m cynical enough to just believe my own BS.
But Pioneer Square gets the bottom layer of the tourism with those activities.
I like to go there for Salumi, the art walk…and my doctor is there.”
“My husband works down there.
The reason my bookstore is here is because psq gets such a big tourist
population and most people have bought their books before they go on vacation.
But I like what’s going on with all the development.
In five years it’s really going to be something. I love going to The Mercantile.”
