Ladd & Lass, formerly ‘The Sandpiper Tavern.’

It’s a story most Bundy fans know well: in September 1969 Elizabeth Kloepfer was new in Seattle, and one night along with her friend and fellow Utah transplant Mary Lynn Chino went to a small college bar called The Sandpiper, where she met Ted Bundy. The two went on to have a tumultuous, on again/off again six year relationship, and Ted played a big part in raising Kloepfer’s young daughter, Molly. Over the years The SandPiper Tavern has changed hands (and names) a few times, and most recently has been dubbed ‘Ladd & Lass Brewing.’

The outside of The (former) SandPiper Tavern, now called ‘Ladd & Lass Brewing.’ I took most of these pictures in April 2024 when I went to Seattle for the second time, and this time around I was able to go in and have (half) of a beer, as I am not a big drinker but at the same time wanted to be able to say I had a drink here.
