Just posted in the WSB Forums by Alki Kayak Tours‘ Greg Whittaker, who had mentioned in the company’s most recent e-newsletter that they were planning a retail store:

Hey WS,

We have the opportunity to open a ski/paddlesports/vehicle rack outfitter shop here in WS, but the one thing missing is the location. We recently had an amazing space pulled out from under us.

I know someone here is connected to a space that would work, so we are looking for you.

We know what is listed, we are looking for someone with something unlisted.

Details:
Alki Kayak Tours will open the shop.

Acquiring a 35 yr old ski shops worth of inventory, shop tools, merchandising.

Dealerships setup with Thule, and other leading rack manufacturers.

WE NEED A SPACE…please help!

Sincerely,
Greg Whittaker

Contact info is at their website, kayakalki.com.

    How big of a space, any conditions it needs to meet?

    I look forward to the new store, I need some bike rack and mounts.

    Is Greg related to the legendary Jim Whittaker by chance?

    probably too small but the space next to Admiral Tattoo has been empty for years

    Yay! Greg and his kayak tours are awesome! I think there’s an opening in Westwood Village where Sally Beauty Supply used to be.

    I know of a big hole that if you fill it up with water would be great for classes…

    Chuck and Sallys? J/K, although I would love to see something there.

  • MrJT September 28, 2009 (3:23 pm)

    What about the space at Charlestown and California?

  • celeste17 September 28, 2009 (3:44 pm)

    What about in the junction next to Capers?

  • Lisa September 28, 2009 (3:56 pm)

    What about one of the car dealership lots on Alaska or Fauntleroy?

  • JBL September 28, 2009 (4:13 pm)

    The space across from the Rocksport on Alaska? Around the corner from Cupcake Royale?

  • Jeremiah September 28, 2009 (4:30 pm)

    How about in one of the empty spaces at Jefferson Square? There are three.

  • eaglelover September 28, 2009 (6:34 pm)

    Or how about those old apartments east of Alki Auto repair…

    The former yoga studio at California and Walker still seems to be vacant.

  • homesweethome September 28, 2009 (9:01 pm)

    former yoga studio at CA and Walker is rumored to be an expansion of Shanti in the making…

  • Karen September 29, 2009 (5:49 am)

    The old West Seattle Radiator spot?

  • Ken S. September 29, 2009 (6:20 am)

    Probably too small, but the space across the street from La Rustica would be SWEET for a paddle shop, since it has access to the sound….

  • Leroniusmonkfish September 29, 2009 (6:44 am)

    How about where the Admiral Pub is soon to be shut down?

  • Anne September 29, 2009 (6:55 am)

    What about the old Westside Pharmacy space-just across the street(south) from the W.S.Nursery?

  • Meghan September 29, 2009 (8:04 am)

    They must have some really specific needs because as the above posts demonstrate, there are a ton of vacant retail spaces all over West Seattle.

  • nuni September 29, 2009 (1:06 pm)

    next door to Skylark?

  • Yardvark September 29, 2009 (1:41 pm)

    Chuck and Sally’s!
