How Swanson's Shoe Repair has been in business for nearly 100 years 

Swanson Shoe Repair is a family affair founded in downtown Seattle in 1928. The shop moved to its current location in the Wallingford neighborhood in 1947.
Owner Danny Swanson grew up in the neighborhood just a block away. He is the third generation to run the business. His grandfather Bjorn “George” Swanson, opened the shop, and was a boot repairer for the U.S. Army during WWI.
Beginning the next year, Swanson Shoe Repair will be turning over the key to the fourth generation. Danny's son Daniel will take the helm for an "opportunity to do work that members of my family have been doing for a long time."
