GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Start the day with Pacific Northwest Bell, a familiar regional telephone name with Seattle roots reaching back to the first Sunset Telephone-Telegraph subscribers in 1883. Incorporated in 1961, PNB served Oregon, Washington, and northern Idaho and later became part of US West. This ceramic coffee mug makes an approachable everyday collectible for office breaks, home desks, and quiet mornings, especially for Bell System fans, telecom-history collectors, and Pacific Northwest nostalgia lovers.
Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company was a Seattle, Washington-based local exchange carrier in the Bell System, serving Oregon, Washington, and northern Idaho. Its regional roots reached back to the Sunset Telephone-Telegraph Company, which opened in Seattle on March 7, 1883, with 90 subscribers. Sunset became the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1899 and merged into Pacific Telephone and Telegraph in 1917. Pacific Telephone Northwest was created as a division on February 1, 1960, and Pacific Northwest Bell was incorporated on March 27, 1961. After Washington Public Service Commission approval on June 5, the separation took effect at midnight on July 1, 1961. The new company helped build telephone service for the Seattle World's Fair, which opened April 21, 1962. In the 1984 AT&T breakup, Pacific Northwest Bell became part of US West. Its operating identity shifted to US West Communications in 1988, while legal consolidation followed in 1991. US West merged with Qwest in 2000; Qwest joined CenturyLink in 2011; and the business has used the Lumen Technologies brand since 2020.
