We are so moved and grateful by all that everyone has shared with us so far. If you’ve been holding off on sending in your work, now is the time. Upload your essays and art, pin memories to the map, and honor your beloved lost Seattle spaces before the clock winds down.

To inspire you to dig deep today, we are posting a preview of Victoria Holt’s photography collection of lost Seattle DIY venues, “From the Basement,” which Ghosts will be reprinting in part in our Atlas.

Says Victoria, “Seattle‘s vibrant DIY spaces foster a level of respect and intimacy between crowd and performer that is directly a result of their community-based growth and development.” We couldn’t agree more. Long live Healthy Times Fun Club and the Funny Button, featured below in all their glory.

Don’t miss the deadline to contribute! Send us your stories now!
