When I was a kid in Seattle, there was a baker who worked at this bakery who was known all around town for his quality. His name was Milton Walker. He was one of those old school craftsmen who just “knew” how to bake
Milt would put loaves of bread in the oven and then go for a little walk down the street to the harbor and Pier 16. By the time he got back to the bakery, the bread was perfectly baked. If he went to Pier 17, the bread was over done. Likewise, a shorter walk to Pier 15 meant under baked loaves. For this, he was reknown town wide. One of those things from a more simple time that was important to a city's character.
When he retired, a huge celebration was held for Milt. In fact, the City placed a plaque down at Pier 16, commemorating the fact that it was the Pier that made Milt Walker famous......
ouch
great story! As an old Seattlite, Can not only appreciate it but visualize the route :).
