Schwabacher’s Store
This 1890 building once housed Schwabacher’s Store, a leading mercantile outfitter for prospectors passing through Seattle en route to the Klondike Gold Rush. The firm was managed by Bailey Gatzert, who married into the Schwabacher family, becoming a prominent civic and business leader. He later became mayor of Seattle.
Marker is on South 1st Avenue south of Yesler Way, on the right when traveling south.
