Meet the Man Dedicated to Maintaining the Legendary Hattie’s Hat

Max Genereaux opens up about his mission to preserve old Seattle bars and his journey from dishwasher to owner of Hattie’s Hat. Brought to you by GoDaddy.

A frequent visitor to the Ballard neighborhood, Max first got a job at the well-known Hattie’s Hat washing dishes and bartending. He found he loved visiting with the locals, asking folks what they wanted to drink. In 2009, Max got word that the current Hattie’s Hat owners were looking to sell the legendary spot. Eager to save one more old Seattle bar, he insisted they sell to him. Today, Max is on a mission to maintain the space’s vibrant history—from the nicest local saloon for loggers and mill workers in 1904, to a more formal restaurant in the 1950s, to finally transforming into the iconic Hattie’s Hat. As the city continues to change, Max is more determined than ever to keep the legacy of Hattie’s Hat alive and maintain the tradition of old Seattle bars.
