SEATTLE DAY AND NIGHT
r
I’ve often heard people say: "There's a lot more happening in Seattle than in
Portland, as far as entertainment is concerned.” or "Portland is dead compared to
Seattle.” I really wasn't in a position to express a candid view of my feelings on the
happenings around Seattle because I didn't get around that much when I did go.
However, this time I went partially on assignment and partially to get away from it
all. So I look an extra couple of days to get an impression of Seattle, day and night.
On a friends recommendation I checked into the Edgewater Inn. located downtown
Seattle on the banks of the famed Pouget Sound. The rates are too high and the
accomodations are much less than I expected. Not only that, the railroad tracks are
right across the street, and of course the only time the trains come by is when you're
trying to go to sleep. If you're into daily physical fitness, then you probably wouldn't
mind staying on the fourth floor (the corridor is so long you think you're walking
through a tunnel). The food was comparable to Denny's, nothing to write home about.
Entertainment was on the top and bottom floors. The top floor was for the guests of
the Inn only. If you are in to Hawaiian music then you were in for a treat every
night! The bottom floor provided a cocktail lounge with a pretty good singer at the
piano bar. with a full view of Pouget Sound. It's open to the general public. I was
trying to figure out where the guests were, they sure weren't in there. The
one thing that I found most strange about the Edgewater Inn is that in the four days I
stayed there I didn't see any minorities employed there, not even a maid. Why not
consider Washington Plaza or the Double Tree Inn next time you go up for business or
pleasure.
Downtown Seattle is like a city within itself It's so spread out its sort of difficult
knowing where it starts and where it stops. The only similarity I really saw between
Seattle and Portland are the hills, along with the fact that Portland has a smaller
business community. The overall architecture is more attractive in Portland than in
Seattle (with one exception, the Space Needle complex, which is out-of-sight).
Portland appears to have just as many sandwich shops, boutiques, nightclubs and
disco's. I didn’t even n.Aice Seattle's inhabitants being more fashion conscious than
Portlanders, even though I did expect it.
With the exception of a couple of go-go joints, doubled as pick up points for ladies of
the night and hang outs for would-be players and such, there was no one place to find a
respectable number of Black people congregated. Since the “Heritage House" closed
its doors a few months back, everyone has reverted to the "Cottage”. A combination
restaurant with a cocktail lounge in the back that can accomodate 25 people
comfortably, but always has over forty on hand on any given night of the week. Seattle
like Portland is a dicky city, if you don't know where its happening, either on the night
club circuit or private parties - you're out!
Fortunately, I knew a couple of people there who I had known in Los Angeles. I
asked them to give me a few pointers on the happenings in Seattle, to make my stay
more pleasurable. To them, I dedicate this weeks column: Fitzgerald Beave. Publisher
and owner of The Facts, Seattle's Black owned and operated newspaper; Joseph and
Stevie Williams of Tacoma; Wills Belle and C-Ray. Alice Davis. Carolyn Wilson and
Bill Murphy of the Tacoma News Tribune and lovely Jacquelyn Goudeau also from
Tacoma.

Quite honestly I wasn't impressed with the food, accomodation, service or the
entertainment. If a friend ever suggests staying at the Edgewater Inn when you visit
Seattle: ask him to give you three good reasons why.

PIONEER BANQUE • • •
Well folks, if Seattle has an edge on Portland as far entertainment goes, this is it -
the “Pioneer". Seattle's answer to the “Jazz De Opus". It too offers the very best in
Jazz, only more of it! It doesn’t offer that much in the way of atmosphere. The club is
situated in the basement with the restaurant on top. Cal Jauder was there with his
group and naturally cooked! I had a nice time all the way around both - day and night.

Both Hesse and philosopher Herbert
Marcuse have often been named as the
two persons who had the most influence
over recent American college students.
The works of Hesse, which include
M agister Ludi, D em iaa, Siddhartha,
Steppenwolf. and Death and the Laver,
were concerned primarily with the isola
tion of humans in their spiritual quests.
Writing of Hesse. Thomas Mann, another
Nobel Prize winner, commented: “His
lifework. with its roots in native German
romanticism, for all its occasional strange
individualism, its now humorously petu
lant and now m ystically yearning
estrangement from the world and the
times, belongs to the highest and purest
spiritual aspirations and labors of our
epoch " *
