(Keeler’s Korner was the first of a number of “mom-pop” grocery store/gas stations built between Seattle and Everett on U. S. Highway 99 after the thoroughfare was completed in 1927; In the 1980s, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, described as “a rare, surviving example of an early automobile service station,” and “a relic of the early years of America’s ‘automobile culture.’”) We encourage all bidders to attend our 3 day in-house gallery event.
