22. Linda Derschang

Linda is Seattle’s longtime queen of nightlife. She is the founder, owner, and/or partner in no fewer than 10 of Seattle’s legendary restaurants, music clubs, and watering holes. For more than a decade, she’s brought her unique style to the cultivation of many of the city’s great “hangout” spaces such as Linda’s Tavern, Smith, King’s Hardware, Viceroy, Oddfellows, and a host of others that have become Seattle institutions.
