Ghosts of Seattle Past invites us all to add a little soul back into St. Patrick’s Day with its Irish Wake for Lost Seattle Places this Thursday, March 17. LoveCityLove’s new Capitol Hill location will host the night-long party, honoring Seattle locales and city establishments that are no longer with us in true Irish fashion–a celebration and lots of beer, provided by Fremont Brewing Company. The evening will feature dozens of performers throughout the night, as musicians, readers and artists fill your senses with nostalgia.

About Ghosts of Seattle Past:

The Ghosts of Seattle Past is an atlas of our memories, a collaborative map of places loved and missed in a rapidly evolving city. In this interactive art installation curated by author/editor Jaimee Garbacik, storytelling and cartography preserve the venues, restaurants, shops and institutions we’ve lost to development in Seattle, the city of the future.

You can check out their project on the website, and attend the event to stick your own pushpin into city maps, marking your own favorite bulldozed coffeeshop or deceased local haunt, or to deliver a special eulogy. The event is free and all ages.
