New-business update: Sign’s up for West Seattle Smoke Company

One month after we first reported a cigar/tobacco shop is moving into the former laundromat on the very busy east side of the Alaska-to-Edmunds block of California SW in The Junction, West Seattle Smoke Company‘s sign is up this morning – thanks to Brian Presser of TouchTech Systems for the photo. WSB contributor Katie Meyer had stopped by on Friday and taken a quick peek inside as the interior takes shape:

We have messages out to its owners to see if an opening date is set yet. (For whenever they do open, hours are listed already online.)

    Please stock a good variety of Gloria Cubana and Hoyo de Monterrey and I’ll be in. I can still go to CigarLand for Flask and Bong.

    Good luck with your cancer sticks.

    That’s were I used to do my laundry. West Seattle lacks big time and is in need for a laundromat next to the Junction area somewhere.

    I hope the clients don’t congregate on the sidewalk, smoking, and driving foot traffic away.

    Just released today: “Obesity Linked To Worsening Prostate Cancer, Even With Hormone Therapy” from Duke University. So we should close the Husky Deli because they sell ice cream and other products that can cause obesity. Then we should close Radio Shack because they sell mobile phones, which can cause cancer. Then…

    I think it’s immoral to sell stuff you know will poison people, although I do recognize that it’s legal.

    But perhaps the owners will be good neighbors, and work to educate all those Junction smokers who flout the secondhand smoke laws to keep their smoke to themselves, and not force it on the rest of us. And perhaps they might take it upon themselves to clean up after the careless smokers who litter.

    Dang! Just when I thought the Junction was getting some great improvements made and some new decent businesses, in comes a tacky smoke shop… guess that’s all up in smoke! YUCK! :(

    Cool. Can we get an adult bookstore and tattoo parlor with that?

  • sun*e May 16, 2011 (9:44 pm)

    We might as well just skip the adult bookstore and go right to adult videos and be shades of White Center.

    sorry sun*e, white center kicks ws butt

    Yanno, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar…

    Do we really need two smoke shops a block apart in the Junction (the other one is in Jefferson Square)? I’m all for new, small businesses in WS, but this seems like overkill. And I mean that literally.

Sorry, comment time is over.
