West Seattle biznotes: Coffee birthday, doga studio, taco update…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, C&P: Happy anniversary to C & P Coffee, which celebrated its 8th “birthday” today. C & P also just sent a reminder about an event recently added to the WSB Events calendar – next Friday, 6:45-9 pm, a knitting party! New addition to the evening: Raffle items that will benefit West Seattle-founded, breast-cancer-patient-helping Northwest Hope and Healing.

WESTSIDE YOGA AND DOGA: Eight days till Kelly Showalter-Page plans to open her new yoga/doga studio in Morgan Junction (6417 Fauntleroy) that she describes as “the only traditional Ashtanga and Doga studio in Seattle and the only Doga studio in the United States.” She’s been documenting the space’s transformation on the Westside Y&D Facebook page.

WIGGLE ROOM ON THE WAY: Not far from there – on the south end of Morgan Junction at 7001 California SW – West Seattle Dawg has moved out of the space, and Tracy Giles and Charlotte Bontrager have moved in to open Wiggle Room Dog Obedience Studio and Daycare. Giles tells WSB, “We expanded the rear fence so that the dogs have an awesome yard to play in (the largest outdoor space for dog daycare in West Seattle), and we remodeled the inside area. We are adding structured play and learning time in the daycare and an obedience studio for small group or individual lessons upstairs.”

RANCHO BRAVO TACOS UPDATE: Yes, one of the city’s better-known taco-truck operators says he’s still coming to West Seattle, though the timetable first mentioned last year has slid. After a WSB Forums discussion reopened the other day, we checked back with proprietor Freddy Rivas, who tells us they’re now hoping for April 1st – he’s focusing first on opening a bigger trailer in Wallingford, and then a Greenwood location on March 1st.

WING DOME NOTE: Marty e-mailed to point out that the future West Seattle Wing Dome location gets a quick mention in this Seattle Times (WSB citywide-news partner) article today. We first reported word of their Junction plans last September, with a quick update in December; we checked back a few weeks ago and the status was exactly what the Times mentioned today – still finalizing the lease.

hard to top the white center taco truck for sure, but an option farther north would be great. where is it going to be located

Note to WestSide yoga/doga – your website doesn’t describe “doga” at all. I see it is a class and ASSUME this is something you bring your dog to? You might want to elaborate on who doga is for and the benefits. Is my giant-breed puppy a good fit?

C&P makes my morning. Congrats to Cam and Pete for 8 great years. Please don’t go anywhere!

“West Seattle Dawg moved out”- does that mean they are out of business, or did they move to another location ??

WSB February 15, 2010 (10:07 am)

Sam, their FB page, which is the only info we have “directly from them” so to speak, does not indicate a new location – it indicates the change was more of a business transfer, though the Wiggle Room does not include a bakery/treats business – TR

Screw Greenwood, Freddy, W. Seattle has more money and a greater need. Fer Gawds sake, Greenwooders think Gorditos is good Mexican food; they hardly qualify as discriminating.
–
Also, T. Bravos is HARDLY the best taco truck in the area (don’t bother with the tortas. All bread), they better get here quickly if they want to establish a clientele before a better option comes along.
Hey, Tacos Maestro on Pac. Highway S., are you paying attention?

To Loralee-
Thanks so much for your comment. I’m the co-owner of Westside Yoga and Doga and I will be teaching the dog yoga classes.
Currently there is a doga class on the schedule for Saturdays at 10:30, it is appropriate for all dog sizes. We are looking into adding another class during the week. We will also look into clarifying the info needed on the website. In the meantime Check out the gallery for pictures and the link to the Barking Buddha website. Please feel free to email me with any further questions. We’ll look forward to seeing you in class!

Sorry, comment time is over.
