From the ‘in case you wondered’ file: ATM in Thriftway lot

Thanks to Cathie for asking about “heavy equipment” in the northwest corner of the West Seattle Thriftway (WSB sponsor) parking lot, then reporting a chat with construction workers yielded the news a freestanding ATM was on the way. We subsequently checked the city permit files, which reveal that it’s going to be a Bank of America ATM.

I noticed the start of work when I stopped by Thriftway earlier in the week (Monday, IIRC) and at that time thought it was landscaping work, although I thought it odd to have construction fencing up.

Went back this morning, saw there was still work going on, and I thought “Oh, must be a patio being built, for outdoor seating for the Espresso Joint.” The I remembered it was no longer an Espresso Joint, and is a Phone Joint instead.

Eliminated that theory!

I was embarrassed to reply to Cathie initially that I hadn’t noticed anything … had just been at WST this morning to get something needed for our teenager’s breakfast, but hurried in and out of the south lot entrance and never even looked that way!
