Permanent Exhibition - Northwest Passage

Northwest Passage traces the development of the Northwest music scene, from its beginnings as a small, isolated community to its status during the grunge years as the center of the rock universe. The gallery follows the early days of the region, from jazz and R&B to the "Louie Louie" phenomenon and the garage bands that spawned a national clamor. Traveling through the 1970s, when Northwest bands such as Heart and Queensrÿche were international success stories and underground hip hop and **** scenes were gathering strength, the gallery concludes in the 1990s, when the world came to Seattle to witness the worldwide triumph of grunge, and in its aftermath, a lively independent scene began to flourish.

Location : Experience Music Project Gallery.
