Personal Notes:
When Frederick and Nelson's was still in downtown Seattle, my mother and I loved to go there for lunch and their fashion shows. On one occasion, they were passing out the recipes for the special dessert that they had that day. Along with the Frango cookies, they served Frango Mint Ice Cream Sodas! A very fun memory for a department store that no longer exists.
