This image of the interior of Lake Washington Pharmacy was taken at 2601 South Jackson Street in the Central District of Seattle. The man on the right appears to be Bert Weed.
<p>Melvin Albert (Bert) Weed (1882-1964) began in the pharmacy business in 1898 as a clerk at the Bartell Drug Company. After college he partnered with Albert G. Keene and worked as a pharmacist at Lake Washington Pharmacy. Bert married Keene's daughter Mamie Luella Keene (1881-1970) in 1906, and they had one daughter, Luell Weed Guthrie (1910-1987). Lake Washington Pharmacy became Weed's Pharmacy in 1910, operating in the same Central District location until Bert's retirement in 1958. The Weed family was well known in the Seattle community thanks to Bert's involvement in many community associations, including the Freemasons, the Nile Temple, and the Sons of the American Revolution.
