Tweedy & Popp Ace Hardware is the oldest hardware store in Seattle. The Wallingford store, opened in 1920, is a neighborhood institution. When the store moved across the street on Saturday almost a hundred customers and neighbors showed up to help out. They formed a bucket brigade, moving inventory to the new digs despite the cold rain (it’s Seattle after all). Flaggers helped handle the cars at the crosswalk. Volunteers passed hinges, bags of grass seed, and other hardware store staples from hand to hand. Others made good use of the wheelbarrows.
