Historic hotel sign in Pioneer Square. The first time I was in the Pioneer Square area, which was sometime in the 1970's, this area was skid row.

I was surprised to come across the Utilikilts store in a fairly conventional shopping area. Since kilts are popular with gay men who identifies as 'bears' or with the leather community, it seemed incongruous for the store to be where it was. I had to remind myself that the company is not specifically gay-identified.

Built in 1890 as a hotel, the building has housed the Bread of Life Mission for many years. I could find no information on why the building is named as it is.
