1940s architecture

The building we know as Gordon's Select Market was built, I think, during or shortly after WWII. The decorative tower-like structure on the storefront has a trace of Art Deco that has always appealed to me. When I was a child the main entrance to the grocery store faced Simpson Avenue. I'm glad the current owners have maintained that tower feature as a McCleary icon.

I am not a football fan but enjoy how the Seattle Seahawks bring people together and create a sense of regional pride. Gordon's has been consistent in celebrating the Seahawks spirit in their decor during football season for the past several years.

Although they seldom stay up for long, there has been a tradition of citizens voicing their opinions on civic issues via the Post Office bulletin board. In the example above, a notice from the City regarding a public hearing for a conditional use permit for a residential treatment facility has gained comments from two different sources:

"Why in the middle of the day? when people are at work!"

"Someone getting paid for this to go through!!! 'Truth'"
