Northeast Fortieth Street — Nintendo's Landlord
Sal: Between One Forty-Eighth Avenue and Northeast Fortieth Street. Sal: Nintendo of America's first Seattle-area home was a warehouse office on Southcenter Parkway, on land rented from a developer named Mario Segale. Donkey Kong's hero was named after him. Peggy: Mario, named for a landlord. Best thing I've heard all day. Sal: It outgrew that office in just over a year and moved to 150th Avenue in Redmond, its home to this day.
