I have to admit, I didn’t know what to expect, but John’s place is incredible. This is the Moon Lagoon… The Moon Lagoon Palm tree at the Moon Lagoon Tiki statue at the Moon Lagoon The Moon Lagoon Tiki statue at the Moon Lagoon Flower and palm tree at the Moon Lagoon picture by John This is the Harpoon Saloon… The Bar at The Harpoon Lounge Tiki Fountain at Harpoon Lounge The Harpoon Lounge Tiki mugs at the Harpoon Lounge Hula girl curtain at the Harpoon Lounge Fish at the Harpoon Saloon photo by John John was still getting ready, so I used the time to take some pictures. John’s wife Amy welcomed us in and showed us to the back. Traffic in Seattle can be very unpredictable and I don’t like to be late, but we ended up making it down to John’s early. I picked up Bridget up in Seattle and we headed down to John’s place. He’s also the owner of the Harpoon Saloon and the Moon Lagoon. Here’s an abbreviated list: the F-Holes, Los Gatos Logos, the Load Levelers, Dragstrip Riot, and Banzai Surf. John is a drummer and has played in countless bands in Seattle. John and Bridget have known each other since the ’80s. Bridget knows about my Tiki obsession and she told me about John’s place. She’s lived in Seattle for decades and she knows pretty much everyone who’s cool. She’s a scooter buddy and we have been riding Vespas together for a couple years now. This is Bridget… Bridget looking fabolous at the Moon Lagoon If you drove by John’s home, you’d never know this Tiki getaway is right behind his house. To be more specific, the Moon Lagoon is John’s backyard… The Moon LagoonĪnd the Harpoon Saloon is his back porch… The Harpoon Lounge The Harpoon Saloon is open for business, but only for John Mooney, his family, and his friends. It’s where you’ll find the Harpoon Saloon at the Moon Lagoon! However, this is where one of the coolest Tiki bars in the Seattle area is located. It’s kind of an interesting area: no stores, no downtown, just clusters of homes off random streets that seem to lead to nowhere. Actually, Unincorporated King County isn’t part of Seattle at all-or any other city for that matter. It’s an area of Seattle that isn’t really Seattle. The bar at the Harpoon Saloon photo by John
