This is so maddening! How unconscionable can this city get, to allow more transient apartments to squeeze out small business. Their UGLY patchwork buildings scaring our city is bad enough...but forcing our small business out so corporate retail (that cares ZERO...ZERO about WS) can move in and be the staple of greed we hate. Disgraceful.

300 apartments…isn’t that about the size of The Whitaker?
Lovely…another canyon…. I swear, this “island” is gonna sink with
all these people moving here. Sigh.

The owner is from New Zealand so we refer to this business as The Kiwi. We have so enjoyed patronizing this business for all the reasons stated above but also because the guy who runs the place is my apple curator and has turned me on to some varieties I wouldn't have tried. Here's hoping they find a spot to reopen.

I hope they will relocate on a location with less grocery stores. Lower California avenue? Highland park? Delridge? Alki? Seaview?

It’s going to be a sad time between their closing and reopening. They have great produce, a great beer selection and are always the nicest and friendliest people. Over the years they have offered wonderful suggestions that have helped me create memorable meals. I hope they open a quickly as they can!

I love west seattle produce. I always have felt welcome as I shopped there. To the employees: hope to see you at your new place.

In reply to Al. Two. Many community members argued that the previous proposal for a one-story CVS would be dramatically underutilizing the 4722 Fauntleroy portion of the site, which has been zoned a while for mixed-use development up to 85 feet (as are the two parcels to the north that hold single-story Les Schwab Tires, which is NOT part of the redevelopment proposal). - TR
