I have just learned of the passing of my dear friend, Scott. I had been thinking about him often for the past several months and had so hoped to reconnect, I didnt know how to reach him, as we had lost touch. Scott was a dear friend, a generous person, with a great sense of humor. I had been missing him recently and I'm so sorry to hear about this...The tears are flowing. Scott was one in a million person, I really loved and cared for him tremendously. God Bless you dear Scott, Stacey Porter

Scott (Scooter T to me) was and alway will be one of my very best friends. He had a kind soul and was always available for his friends and family, as he valued friendships deeply. Scott had a love for music, movies, food, clothes, cars, furniture, design and a deep passion for books. Particularly anything to do with Hollywood celebrities. I was at dinner one night with some friends and we got stumped on an actor in a movie, I said, "let me call my Hollywood expert Scooter T" and wouldn't you know he not only knew the actor but pontificated on about the producer, director and academy award nominations! Scott always had time to talk and was an exceptional listener. His quirky laugh could light up a room. He loved making and sharing his mixed music tapes that were always a joy because of their assorted style that went way beyond the popular norms. Scott had the gift to make everyone feel included. Like his father, Len, Scott was a fantastic story teller. He loved the Hawaian Islands (Maui in particular), it's sandy beaches and sun-drenched days. Scott will remain in my mind as forever youthful and smiling with a curious twinkle in his bright blue eyes. I will miss him until we meet again.
My sincere condolences to Len, Eileen, JT, Janet, Nancy, Jim, Andrea, Jamie and his favorite aunt Ann.

I am devasted by the loss of my friend, Scott.
When I was dealing with breast cancer in 1997 Scott was my biggest supporter. He gifted me with the book, by Laura Evans about climbing Mount Rainer.
And I trained to climb and I had the best time ever.
Scotty, may you rest in peace.
with love and hugs,

There are many fond memories of Scott Tweten, I met Scott and Nancy when Magnolia Hi - Fi was still a Magnolia icon in the Magnolia area. Nancy sold me my first home stereo and I became friends with Scott and Nancy. My condolences go out the Tweten family. Scott always had that bright brilliant smile that he shared with others and he will be missed by many people in the Seattle Area.

It was with a heavy heart I read of Scott's passing. I knew Scott well during the 70's when I worked for Magnolia Hi-Fi. Through the years when I ran into Scott around town he always greeted me as an old friend and we shared memories of working together. My wife Becky and I send our sincere condolences to the Tweten family.

Scott, as a Senior at Queen Anne High accepted my invitiation to the school tolo. It wound up being an incredibly awkward evening until we agreed to ditch the dance and just hang out talking at Magnolia Beach instead. We shared some secrets and made a connection. Although we didn't stay in touch, I want to extend my sincere regrets to the Tweten family. He was a beautiful person and I feel fortunate to have known him.

Scott and I went to high school together in the 1970's. When I think of Scott, I think of his warm thoughtfulness, giving heart, and big smile.
When my daughter Natalie was 6 we recieved a book in the mail from Scott on the biography of Natalie Wood. He shared his love of books and Hollywood with all of us. May you rest in peace now,I miss you and wish you enough.

My dearest Friend Scottie TT!
I met Scott in 1991, after
accepting a position as the Condo Mgr. where he lived. I used to him call him My Hollywood, as he was handsome and so cool!
I took care of his dear girls, Jackie Girl and Miss Armani.
He was generous without a fault, who truely loved his friends, with passion and loyality!
After I left the condo building in 2000, we always kept in touch, thru the good and bad times.
I miss him so much and now he is free to be a shining star from up above!
I love u Mr. TT, god bless you and I will see you again one day!

Scott was a client of mine and through the years became a sweet friend. He cared so deeply for so many and for so many causes. Of course, we all adored him. He was a great storyteller, had such an attention to detail. A very observant soul. A very private person by nature, yet so very approachable, he had a knack for making anyone feel welcome. He was a gift to those of us who knew him, to be sure.
I'll always remember you, Scott. Be at peace now.
April 24, 2010
Scott was a very special client of mine for several years. He was one of the most generous and thoughtful people I've known.

Very sorry to hear the news...
Scott was, to his core, a nice guy. With a smile for everyone and a way of making people feel at ease, he certainly inherited his share of the Tweten charm. Magnolia would not have been the company it was without him.
I'm sure all of us who worked with him in Service during the 90's will miss him.
Condolences and best wishes for the rest of the Tweten family.
