Take a minute to look and see the accomplishments of hatnboots.org, who have raised funds and relocated the pair at Oxbow Park in ever changing Georgetown. The brim of the hat is 40 feet wide and was originally the gas station office, the boots stand 22 feet tall housing the mens' and ladies' lavatories, the taller boot on the right was the men's room. A community organization in the Georgetown section of Seattle is repairing the long neglected Hat 'n Boots. Many corporate and civic sponsors have stepped up along with a list of key volunteers to restore the two buildings. The Hat n' Boots were moved in mid-December 2003 to Oxbow Park, Georgetown, a Seattle suburb. They stand in proud stature as the focal point for newly developed Oxbow Park. The cowboy hat, a skeleton at present, will house an interpretive exhibit on the history and meaning of the Hat n' Boots. If you yearn for more Hat n' Boots lore and there is plenty to be had, or would like to contribute as I believe they are still fund raising, go to www.hatnboots.org. 6 Comments |

what a waste of money...
J. Curley made an uncalled for comment when he was in Ballard. I was sipping on a green tea frapp from starbucks, when out of the blue [minding my own business] Curley walks up to me and says "I'm not even going to tell you how many calories are in that "

Thanks for opening my eyes, I was addicted to that stuff because it tastes so good and goes down so easy .
and $62,000,000. for an athlete was money well spent??? while the roads are crumbling because nobody wants to spend a few million to repair them???
Bill, thanks for posting this. Its nice to see photogs posting stuff online and putting their names on it instead of the on-camera talent.
While the hat and boots bring back fond memories of my childhood way back in 1960's Seattle. I think it is a tremendous waste of money. I like many people have been out of work for what seems like an eternity. We are hungry, tired, and constantly worry about being homeless. This is the reality of a good many people. In my opinion the foundation moving and restoring the toilets would better serve the community by feeding and housing the working poor.
