Frederick & Nelson, Seattle, circa 1918
Order an ImageThe first Frederick & Nelson retail store opened in 1889, right after Seattle's great fire. By 1916, the company was doing so well that it built a large new store at Fifth Avenue and Pike Street, which many people thought was too far out of town. Frederick & Nelson was one of Seattle's landmark companies for over a century. It closed in the 1990s.
This postcard shows the new Frederick & Nelson store shortly after its 1916 opening.
