Seattlest Trivia: Seattle Institutions
Sometimes, we write a trivia round, look at it for a second, and realize that it's way too difficult to actually deploy in a pub full of people who've been drinking.
But a quiz is never too hard to share with our faithful, Google-armed readers. Here's a list of 10 people or groups who founded Seattle institutions, along with the years they did so.
Can you correctly ID them? Without Googling, we'd get maybe 3. (That's why we like writing quizzes.) We'll post answers in the comments later.
1) 1947: Thomas G. Bevan, Bob Mitchell, Ella Williams, Addison Shoudy, Stanley Erickson, and Victor G. Vieg
2) 1954: Dick Spady and H. Warren Ghormley
3) 1965: Bill Speidel
4) 1971: Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegel, and Gordon Bowker
5) 1976: Darryl MacDonald and Dan Ireland
6) 1976: Gary Groth and Mike Catron
7) 1982: Alan Silverman
8) 1986: Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Ponemann
9) 1988: George and Rebecca Latsios
10) 1991: Tim Keck
Note to pub quiz fans: Seattlest will be playing the quiz at Kate's Pub in Wallingford on Monday night. Suspect you could kick our butts? You're probably right, but here's your chance to prove it.
