BIZNOTE: Another business leaves south Morgan Junction

Thanks to Sue for the tip! The latest business to move from south Morgan Junction is Be Pilates. The fitness studio announced via its eemail list that it’s moved from 6701 California SW to a space in the mixed-use building Aura at 4435 35th SW. It’s been in south Morgan for 6+ years and expects to reopen in the new space in early January; as shown in our photo, its now-ex-space has FOR RENT signage up. This follows My Three Little Birds‘ (WSB sponsor) move to The Junction and the displacement of several businesses by the townhouse project at California/Frontenac.

We need more businesses is south Morgan. I feel like the area is on a cusp of blowing up.

We almost had a Chinese restaurant move in about 2 blocks South of this spot but the neighbors complained so much the owner of the building (who also owns a successful restaurant on Capitol Hill) sold it to developers. Now its 6 townhomes.

I feel like the Morgan Junction is close to reaching “critical mass” in which it becomes a destination rather than a few random businesses sprinkled in that only the locals use.

  Side note to that, the owners of that restaurant (Chungee’s) are now closing on Capitol Hill.

WSB – is there any word on what is going into the former Hitlab space at 6417 Fauntleroy? Papered over and work going on – thought maybe Be was moving there?

Last I checked, it was Waterfront Credit Union, which is currently in the Delridge/Andover business park. I’m overdue to publish something about it.

Any idea what is going in the old Be Pilates space? Looks like it’s been rented.

Nothing in permit files.

(Added) We’re out on rounds now and went by. Windows covered but nothing obvious. That may or may not be a sign of something new, we were reminded by a couple vacant storefronts on Alki, papered over for a year-plus now… Anyway, it’s on the watch list!

Sorry, comment time is over.
