I'm in Seattle working and I'm looking to tour few places and check out grunge locations on my downtime while I'm here in the area Between this grunge music history scene and the whale tours - I'll be good! 😃 Me being a big of fan of Nirvana growing up, this is a must for me 😃
Growing up here I used to think Washington was the most boring state in the entire country. Most of my childhood was spent getting lost out in the woods with my friends and having all types of adventures. But then when I got into my teenage years I found out about this crazy music scene that we had in the past with grunge and I was like "really that happened here". I always feel like that sounded more like something that would have happen in California not here. But it was really cool discovering this history that we had. way after it ended and having the internet was a nice way for me to go through what felt like a Time capsule.
The boringness is probably the reason why so many great bands came out of there. When people had nothing to do, they would form bands. Some people still do but I don't know if there will ever be another rock music scene like Seattle's.
Massive grunge fan here based in Scotland. Thank you so much for making this video! So many surprises , especially the Troll. Never been to Washington State and always wanted to go. I envy the youngsters who saw these great bands in the 90s in Seattle. :)
I used to live in Belltown, on 4th between Virginia and Lenora. I had a great little studio, and a courtyard that only my neighbor and I had access to (we had to crawl through our windows to get out there! 😂 My little granddaughter would come visit from Everett, and we had a blast exploring. Ten years later, and she still talks about how much fun we had. Shes not much of a grunge fan, but she does think its cool that I lived down the street from Bad Animals Studio, was at the OK Hotel and the Crocodile, and stood in line behind Eddie Vedder at Larry's Market. I didn't bug him, but I did peek over his shoulder to see what he was buying. It was hummus. 😊
Thanks for the video Scott. Im headed to Seattle in September. The 9th through the 13th and It would be a pleasure to have you show me and my wife around. You seem to have had a lot of good times growing up. Im 40 and Seattle has been on my list for years now to see the town Kurt grew up in and his hang around spots. Maybe ill get lucky and run into you. That would be a great trip
I lived in Seattle from 1996-2006 & played in a band and the Offramp was my home away from home. When I first went to it & played it was called Sub Zero, then changed back to The Offramp then to El Corozon. I lived on Bellevue way in Capitol Hill so if I had to much to drink I could always walk home. My band was only around from 1996 to 2000 but we played a reunion show wth all the other bands we used to play with for charity. Nancy (Layne's mom) helped organize it and was there and I believe it was for a childrens arthritis fund if I remember correctly. Great times.
I lived in Seattle from 93 to 96 and my favorite hangouts were; Linda’s Tavern, The Doghouse, Sit and Spin, The Comet, Rebar, The Crocodile and Moe just to name a few.
I did something similar when I lived there. I did add some more morbid locations to it like Layne Staley’s condo, Kurt’s house (can’t see much) and the seedy motel near the Aurora bridge where according to Courtney, kurt used to do drugs near the end.
The Central needs to be on this list - be it Tavern or Saloon. Spent many a night there back in the late 80's & early 90's. Everybody played there. A key place to be after The Oxford and The Vogue closed their doors.
Most 90s music locations are gone killed by corporations, Lake Union Pub, Pete’s Calzones, OK Hotel, the Brewster where a crazy girl I knew lived, all gone, was fun
Cool video Scott. Definitely memory lane. Too bad the RKCNDY is now a hotel. That still of AIC in your video, I think that’s me in the bottom left corner. You look good my friend. Jim Budig
This sums up the 'Grunge' experience, there wasn't much to it! It just became a marketing gimmick. Go to any town you will find promising young musicians. The bands were good, the records were great. It was the right place at the right time. There's nothing left but a few of the venues.

You missed Layne Staley's Condo in the U Dist and Kurt Cobain's House in Madrona. All must sees for a grunge fan. (Seattle native here).

Thank you for posting this! ❤️🔥
I was a student at AIS and worked on your music video Little bit of heaven it was a fun time and a different lifetime ago

I thought the off ramp was torn down or so I had heard
This is crazy. I remember hash after the bash and I also saw Mookie Blaylock before they were Pearl Jam

Seattle is Haunted by the Ghosts of Grunge
