Looks like the ex-dealership land’s not ALL for sale

Thanks to the folks at WSB sponsor Ventana Construction for snapping pix at Fauntleroy/Alaska a short time ago, as they spotted this “FOR LEASE” sign going up on the ex-Huling/Gee lot on the southeast corner. Here’s the leasing company; as of this moment, the listing isn’t on their site, nor is it coming up in a general search of commercial sites “for lease.” Data point: Unlike many surrounding parcels, this land isn’t actually owned by the Hulings, according to King County property records. MARCH 26 ADDENDUM: The completed sign says for sale OR for lease.

thanks, I saw that too, they were still around this afternoon. I try to keep to the “no rumors” policy but I will say the “for lease” sign tends to give credence to rumors about what’s likely to happen on that section of land in the near term.

Could be that even so this has evolved into a news blog to a great extent, that playful banter still occurs and is allowed, and is an important factor in taking the edge off some of the not so good news that we must deal with…
