    I love Scarecrow Video. When I lived in Seattle (from 1999 - 2005) I would go there once a week on Wed evenings, grab copies of The Weekly and The Stranger that they gave aways there, go sit in the upholstered chair on the second floor and scan through the papers for the ads that told you where to go to pick up free passes for advance movie screenings, and then browse the shelves and rent some films. Boy I miss those days.
    Another great Scarecrow memory: Every year or two I'd remember some odd film that I saw on TV really late at night several decades earlier. I had wanted to see these films again, but they never showed up on TV, and I never found them at video stores. So, now that I lived in Seattle, I'd check Scarecrow when I'd remember one of these movies. Scarecrow ALWAYS had them!

    George opened up the Latona store about the time I was a new mom, and I lived just a couple of blocks away. When I needed to take the baby for a walk and to speak with an adult, I would go there to chat with George and rent a video. We did not have cable, and our kids grew up with the videos I rented there.

    When I was a student at the University of Washington I used to go to Scarecrow Video all the time. I'm glad they're still around.

    I was one of the first customers when it was an empty little store on Latona. I rented a compilation of shorts by the Brothers Quay. George said, “At last, someone who enjoys quality!” He always remembered me from then on, so I kept renting eclectic masterpieces to keep him impressed. It turned me into a filmmaker.
    Good job, Felix. (But don’t get a big head; as you probably know, those regional Emmy’s are nothing but a silly and gratuitous racket. Take yours with a degree of shame.)

    Add to say: he usually was sitting in his Boeing surplus desk. It was kind of rustic.

    They should have one on the east coast.

    Do you think you would ever mail DVDs like Netflix now that they have canceled their service? Maybe to the Seattle/Eastside area? :)

      They already do. That's the rent by mail program they mentioned
