I got to write about a very old bathroom for Vintage Seattle. Exciting, no?! Very much so. This is the first piece I've ever written about a comfort station! Thrilling, yes? Yes, indeed.

I was lucky enough to write about Seattle's Sick's Stadium for Vintage Seattle recently. Sick's Stadium, in South Seattle, housed Seattle's first major league baseball team - the Seattle Pilots.

I had the pleasure to write a short essay about a fascinating building down the road from where I live. It's the Home of the Good Shepherd, a former home for "wayward girls." I hope you like the piece.

Jon's Writing on Vintage Seattle

I had the good fortune to work with Vintage Seattle recently. We collaborated a bit on a post in which they provided me with an image and I wrote a brief essay about said image. The first (I hope of many) images we chose was of West Seattle's Luna Park. It was an amusement park that's long since been torn down. I hope you enjoy the piece.
