Vanishing Seattle Films presents the second in its series of shorts that take a deeper dive into the stories of history, legacy, and resilience behind the #VanishingSeattle hashtag. Each episode of this documentary series focuses on small businesses or community space significant to a Seattle neighborhood. Hardwick's is a 4th-generation independent hardware store in the University District that has supported boat builders, woodworkers, metal-smiths, artists, tradespeople, and countless small businesses, local industries, and Seattleites for nearly nine decades. Hardwick's Hardware plans to close and move out of state in 2020, as they and their customer base are being priced out by a changing Seattle and U District.
