Update: West Seattle’s only motel gets a new name – The Grove

May 20, 2011 at 2:25 pm | In Triangle, West Seattle news | 6 Comments

Another update today as the new owners of West Seattle’s only motel (36th/Alaska) continue working to renovate it and leave its troubled past behind: Spokesperson Lynn Sweeney tells WSB they have chosen a name: “The Grove, West Seattle Inn.” She adds, “The name was chosen in part to reflect the rejuvenated location as a peaceful, comfortable and friendly environment, and over time, our goal is to enhance and grow the natural landscape as well.” They announced the renovation plan five months ago and are aiming to reopen in early summer. You might recall that while at one point they had hoped to stay open while renovating, the SWAT-team incident in late March accelerated matters, and they closed shortly thereafter. The Grove has a website already too, with a logo and some hints at what they’re aiming for – grovewestseattle.com.

  4. Wouldn’t one usually expect to find some trees near a place called “the grove”?

  5. I really do hope they can put the past behind. We have needed a place for guests to stay for way too long!!
