Historic Seattle bought the building and is saving it, like they have done with other structures in Seattle.

Comment on Kennell-Ellis Photography 1950′s by Colleen Stewart

We have many historical photos which have the photographers name on them and it is Ellis. Many of the photos were also photo postcards, most from the early 30′s, 40′s and maybe into the 50′s. Do you know if this might be connected to this name Ellis referred in your photo and article?

There wasn’t much on the east side of Lake Washington in those days. I had a great aunt and uncle who had a little old farm north of Kirkland someplace, and it took forever to get there. By the way, the car partially obscured by the tree on the right is a Kaiser.

I found this page while searching “Arthur’s Bakery”. As a four-year-old in the early 70s, I took swimming lessons at the neighboring swim club (was it called the Olympic swimming pool?). I can still smell the chlorine and feel the muggy warmth of its greenhouse atmosphere, ivy climbing up the cement walls.

After each swim lesson, my mom took me to Arthur’s for a treat. I chose their iced, yellow & black smiley face cookie every time. As a four-year-old, I thought that cookie was nearly the size of my head!

Later, in my growing up years, I’d find an Arthur’s smiley face cookie on my bed after a hard day at school, a breakup with a boyfriend, a particularly torturous piano lesson, and on occasional birthdays and holidays – each cookie compliments of my fun and loving mom.

Does anyone else remember those cookies?

Also, does anyone know when and why Arthur’s closed?

Thanks for reading my lengthy post!
