Patricia Ryan, 56, who owned Belltown’s Two Bells Tavern from 1982 to 1999, died at the Swedish Cancer Institute on Aug. 4, after a seven-year bout with ovarian cancer. She turned the little tavern on a low-foot-traffic stretch of Fourth Avenue into the virtual living room for the then-burgeoning Denny Regrade arts community; it’s survived as a refuge for regular folk left behind by the neighborhood’s gentrification. Her survivors include artist and curator Rolon Bert Garner, who worked as a part-time bartender for Ryan in 1982 and married her two years later. Over the years, the Bells hosted several MISC live events and anniversary parties, as well as scores of the little meetings and confabs that have helped make this report-thang what it is.
