More Alki restaurant news: Homestead up for sale, again

| Alki Homestead | West Seattle news | West Seattle restaurants

The updated CL listing makes it clear “just the business” (not the building) — but however you slice it, the Homestead is for sale, two years after it last changed hands. $495,000, according to this version of the listing.

Hmmm..the second listing does say “Business Only” but that follows the phrase “Opportunity to own Seattle Historical Landmark” – maybe it’s just a crummy write-up though because it also boasts being across the street from the water with beautiful views. um, yeah. Don’t want to see this one go; I don’t get there often, but vow to go in the next couple of weeks!

At that price, it couldn’t include the building or land – county records show Tom Lin paid $1.2 million for it in ’06. It is an official city landmark; details of 1995 ordinance here.

wow…went to a wedding reception there last week…was terrific food, great service (though a private event, the waitpersons were used)…I hope someone can take it over and keep the tradition going, with improvements. I must say, they needed to dust a little in the corners :)

The CL does say “business only” but THEN it says, “Excellent opportunity to own Seattle Historical Landmark” which sounds a lot like the building. I hope you’re right about the price, WSB — or, the market has softened a lot more than we know.

Just walked by there today. What a time capsule!

My boyfriend, who has since passed away, took me there to celebrate finding my first job out of college. Nice memories there.

I have celebrated college graduation and more than a couple birthdays there – both before and after the change of hands. It is a place that all ages can feel comfortable. Food is great…so are the old school drinks. :) I hope someone who cares as much for it as the customers who know it gets it and keeps the restaurant going. If I had the money and time… man, what an opportunity!
