Great find! Kirk Albert Profiled

What a great write-up for SDDA member Kirk Albert! Read the full article here!

Vintage and antique expert Kirk Albert migrated to the great Pacific Northwest from Detroit twelve years ago backed by a hypothesis: the Theory of Evolution would have to apply to Seattle’s relative isolation. He says he goes by the Darwinian philosophy that the cultures that are most isolated develop creatively at a more accelerated pace because they are free from outside influences and left to their own devices. “I figure that you have to travel over two mountain ranges to get to where we are,” Albert explains, “so the people here have to solve their own problems and create their own solutions. That’s what inspires us to come up with a lot of great things.”

Among those great things is Kirk Albert Vintage Furnishings, the Georgetown storefront where he has amassed an inspiring collection of quirky, eccentric, one-of-a-kind finds. Albert warns that many of the things in his gallery-like shop may provoke embarrassment, shock, or titilation, but he adds that customers’ laughter is like “music to his ears” because it tells him that they understand the message he’s trying to get across. We caught up with Albert to try to figure out just what that message might be.
