Hotel Sorrento

The Story

A presence identified in Seattle lore as writer Alice B. Toklas is said to linger near Room 408 and the fourth floor. Accounts describe unattended drinks moving, footsteps and lights flashing. Washington tourism notes that Toklas left Seattle before the hotel opened, so the ghost’s identification is part of the legend.
