First Avenue 1975

Our tour is focused on the late 1800's- early 1980's -  a broad span of time, but a time in which adult entertainment was a visible part of Seattle. Most of the content of the tour centers around Seattle shifting out of the 1970's and into the Downtown we know today. Here is 1st Avenue between Union and Pike. Beyond the Wonder Inn, you can see "Open All-Nite"; a sign belonging to the Green Parrot Theater. Today this is the South Arcade to the Market with an entrance to the Pike Brewery half way down the block.

The Green Parrot was one of the most well known adult theaters on First Avenue. 

You might notice that this view of First Avenue is the same one that is used to advertise the film, Cinderella Liberty.
