Thompson Seattle
Thompson Seattle

Thompson Seattle is a boutique hotel in Seattle, Washington, United States. Part of the Hyatt's Thompson brand, it opened on June 1, 2016. The 12-story four-star hotel has 152 rooms and five types of suites. It is located in Downtown Seattle and is a block uphill from Pike Place Market. When it opened, Thompson Seattle originally was owned by John Pritzker's Commune Hotels & Resorts. Hyatt became the owner in 2018. The architectural firm Olson Kundig designed Thompson Seattle, which is part of a mixed-use development that includes 95 serviced apartments. The hotel has a geometric glass outer structure and floor-to-ceiling windows from which guests can see the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound's Elliott Bay. The hotel was built on a former parking lot by Turner Construction. Hotel rooms follow the mid-century modern design and have a masculine aesthetic. Rooms offer different kinds of views including of the water, the courtyard, and the city. The Nest, a rooftop bar on the 13th floor, provides views of the city and Puget Sound, offering cocktails named after birds and small bites. Scout, which opened in 2016, was a restaurant at Thompson Seattle that offered a woodland cabin-inspired atmosphere and a menu focused on Pacific Northwest ingredients. It ceased operations in 2019 for a complete overhaul. In its place, Conversation opened later that year, offering a menu with international and regional cuisine and encouraging in-person interaction. The hotel has a tiny, no-frills gym and a concierge service.

Butterworth Building
Butterworth Building

The Butterworth Building or Butterworth Block at 1921 First Avenue in Seattle, Washington was originally built as the Butterworth & Sons mortuary, which moved into this location in 1903 and moved to larger quarters in 1923. Located on a steep hill, the building has only three stories on the First Avenue side, but five on Post Alley. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP); adjacent to Pike Place Market, it falls within the NRHP's Pike Place Public Market Historic District and the city's Place Market Historical District. Now owned by the McAleese Family since 2005. The building was the city's first purpose-built mortuary building. Jeannie Yandel in 2009 described it as "The city's first place for comprehensive death-related services from corpse retrieval to coffin sales." The building had the first elevator on the West Coast of the United States, used to transport bodies. A Seattle Mail and Herald account from August 1904, shortly after the building opened, calls it "without question of doubt, the most complete establishment of its kind in the United States…" A 2008 Seattle Times article describes the building, still extant, as "[b]eautifully appointed in stained mahogany, art glass, ornamental plaster and specially designed brass and bronze hardware…" The basement, accessible through Post Alley at the rear, is now (as of 2009) home to Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub. Several recent accounts describe the Kells space as the former embalming room and crematorium, but the 1904 account says that the basement housed the building's heating plant, stables, and a storage space for funeral wagons.The building is associated with several ghost stories. In 2010, the building was featured on an episode of Ghost Adventures and they found evidence that support theories of the building being haunted.
