DEVELOPMENT: Your next chance for design feedback on Bee’s Plumbing project

The new office/warehouse building that Bee’s Plumbing plans for its new HQ at 2216 SW Orchard [map] has arrived at “early design guidance” feedback time. The project at the ex-Tug Inn site is proposed for 3-4 stories (the site is zoned for up to 5), with about 7,000 square feet of office space, 5,000 sf of warehouse/office space, and offstreet parking for more than 40 vehicles. The project is going through the Administrative Design Review process, which means no community meetings, though community feedback is invited. Here’s architect Andrew Finch‘s design packet for this stage of the process, focused on massing (size and shape). The notice published today sets March 31st as the early-design feedback deadline and explains how to send yours.

    What a freaking travesty. One of the few working class bars left in West Seattle. Thank god for the Poggie and Ebb Tide. And White Center!

    Might it be helpful to widen the sidewalk from the planned 6 ‘ design to 10’ to provide relief for cyclists and pedestrians on SW Orchard?  Given the high speeds on the arterial,  the sidewalk is the safest place to bike.   Widening this section might help matters- at least a start.

    Bee’s did my tankless water heater recently and did a great job.  The arrived on time and were very communicative.  Good company to work with.

      Sounds hopeful Andrew.  What did I miss?

    You did not miss anything  the city is talking about making
    improvements for cycling in this area as I think they should. They mention this
    in our paperwork. You could probably find out more by asking the SDOT online.

Sorry, comment time is over.
