Button Wearing Bus Expert spotted at Bus stop, Elliot St 110 days ago

Oh my God how weird, I just saw this guy last night, on my first bus ride since moving to Seattle. I saw him on the sidewalk waiting for a bus, I didn’t know he was a celebrity. I actually asked him for instructions on finding the right bus!

Crazy Scarf Guy spotted at Bumbershoot - Labor Day Weekend 152 days ago

Scarfman1

I was at Bumbershoot watching the Aggrolites perform when I spotted Crazy Scarf Guy (CSG) “dancing”. He had a whole pile of scarves around him and at one point I witnessed an onlooker take some scarves and dance with him! This guy is a crazy riot.

When I approached him to take his photo he headed towards me. BEWARE! He likes to swirl his scarves around you if you get too close.

Slats spotted at the comet 133 days ago

bands played. slats was there. it was pretty uneventful really, but this page needed an update.

Duct Tape Guy spotted at Bulldog News on the Ave 162 days ago

He was looking at the newspapers in the outside rack by the order window. One of the baristas came out and started wiping down various counters and other surfaces and told him, “People order here, so when you’re done looking, you’ll need to move along.” He mumbled something I couldn’t hear. “You’re going to order something?” the barista asked. He had money in his hand, but he walked away without further comment. I ordered a tall americano, as usual.

Guy with Two Bulldogs spotted at Julia's on Broadway 925 days ago

I stopped to pet bulldog guy’s bulldog (this was when he was only guy with one bulldog) and I had a hamburger in my hand. His dog clamped onto my coat hoping to steal my hamburger; it took the two of us about 5 minutes and the loss of my burger to get him unclamped

Murray Stenson spotted at At Zig Zag, of course. 164 days ago

Well, Murray is ubiqitous in terms of true gentlemanly behavior, and of course, incomparable barmanship.

If you find yourself at Zig Zag, all of the bartendrs are some of the best mixologists that you will come across, but Murray? He’s notable for being one of the best in America.

Hyperbole? Nope. Sometimes, some humans just excel at doing one thing or another, and Murray is simply the best at what he does in his small corner of this earth.

Duct Tape Guy spotted at On N. 50th in Wallingford 170 days ago

Duct Tape Guy walked by while we were eating doughnuts in a friend’s backyard. I didn’t realize the duct tape was a beak and thought he had duct-taped his mouth shut. I was Very Creeped Out until I stumbled across an LJ post which lead me here. Thanks Seattle Notables!

Duct Tape Guy spotted at U district outside Kosta's 179 days ago

We fed him cake. We were serving cake to my sister and her boyfriend out of the trunk of our parked car on the ave (they had missed the cake part of a small celebration we had earlier in the day). My sister’s beau took a picture of a man on the street with a can of beer and struck up a conversation with him. We fed him cake. And as soon as he received his cake, out of nowhere ‘duct tape man’ appears for his serving. We gave him a piece too. We looked around to see if anyone else would be coming out of the woodwork for cake and then took off.

Crazy Scarf Guy spotted at Pike Place Market 172 days ago

I saw him at the Pike Place Market hanging out with his scarves on the sidewalk.

Crazy Scarf Guy spotted at The Fremont Summer Solstice Festival in Gasworks Park 591 days ago

I am a member of Ockham’s Razor, a local Irish Folk band, and we played the festival. It was a bright, sunny day, and there were brightly painted naked people. We were enjoying ourselves… until Scary Scarf Guy danced in front of us, his pink shorts pulled to the side so his junk could hang free, and the back of them pulled up into the crack of his ass much like a g-string. His ass has crazy psychic powers of hypnotism. The sun gleamed off his pasty white, mole-y ass. It was over a year ago and I am still scarred.

Duct Tape Guy spotted at 1312 NE 43rd St 174 days ago

Dtg1

Duct Tape Guy was sitting in the alley behind Kai’s, enjoying a cup of what appeared to be SBC. Today, he dispensed with the usual clear plastic face shield, and was sporting a welding mask.

(Also, his proper name is HazMat Guy, not Duct Tape Guy. I’ve been enjoying the reaction that he elicts here in the U-District for, gee, must be about 6-7 years now…)

Duct Tape Guy spotted at Ballard Library 235 days ago

He went into the “neighborhood center” to try to use the public phone-then was told to use the payphone accross the street in front of Bartell’s. The lady who works there says that he use to wear a “bee-keepers” mask back in the day, also he smelled awful (arguably the worst smelling transient ever?).

Krist Novaselic spotted at Seattle Waterfront Marriott 904 days ago

He was checking out of the hotel-preoccupied by his “toy dog” that kept running around the lobby-very friendly guy-but eccentric-or goofy-rich in a way…had a lady friend with him too-maybe a better way to put it would be -hipster rich?

Dee Dee Rainbow spotted at Outside of Holly B's Bakery on Lopez Island 187 days ago

She was sitting at one of the outside tables with a few other ladies. I noticed her right away, and commented to my companion, but I had no idea who she was until I stumbled across this site.
