Everywhere you look on Queen Anne’s arterial streets are the sites of historic grocery stores. The Queen Anne Dispatch at Q.A. Avenue and Boston was a Standard Grocery. The Fountainhead Art Gallery near Macrina Bakery was a Piggly Wiggly store. Did you shop at Nelsen’s Quality Grocery store, where Top Pot Doughnuts is now? What were our shopping habits like in these earlier days? 

Join the Queen Anne Historical Society and historian Alicia Arter for a free public virtual lecture on January 26th. The visuals and family memories behind these stores will help all of us view Queen Anne history in a new light. Register HERE today!
