The story of Scarecrow Video starts in 1983 when Rebecca and George Latsios moved from Allentown, PA. to Seattle, WA. George always had a fondness for movies and started playing with the idea of starting his own video store. Try as they might, the lack of capital made the initial creation of a store impossible.
In 1986, George put about 200 of his own personal tapes out to be rented at Backtrack Records and Video, replanting the seed. In 1988, while working as a general manager for Kamon of Lake Union Restaurant, George became frustrated with making money for other people -- so he quit. He convinced Rebecca that the time was right to open a video store of their own, and on December 8, 1988 (promptly at noon) Scarecrow Video was born. Containing a huge inventory of 600 titles, the Latona store was but a ripple in the lake that would become Scarecrow. Five customers signed up that day (four of whom we’re pleased to still have with us), and the store’s first $36 was made.
