BIZNOTE: West Seattle restaurant for Lily’s Salvadorean

| Luna Park | West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news | West Seattle restaurants

2940 SW Avalon Way, until recently the home of Allyum, has a new tenant – someone you might already know from the West Seattle Farmers’ Market: A liquor-license application this week revealed that Lily’s Salvadorean is taking over the space. A note on the window confirms it:

The note promises Mexican food as well as Salvadorean. Founder Lilian Anaya Quintanilla‘s business is more than a decade old. We briefly made contact at the market today, where Lily’s booth was very busy as usual, and we’re working on a followup conversation for details.

I look for their empanada’s every time I’m at the market. SO good. Very happy for them.

I hope this place thrives, and I plan to do my part to make it so. Wonderful news!

I plan to do my part to make sure she stays in business as well. Just please have veggie options 😋

Best of luck to them. That is a challenging location.

You’re right – That section never feels like a destination, which is unfortunate because the patio looks cozy. I can at least bike there, and I hope they somehow continue to incorporate the Vespa mural.

  Somehow Luna Park Café two doors down has managed to survive, and also note that residential development continues in the area, including the new apartment building that’ll be under construction soon at Harbor/Avalon (plus a few other projects on Avalon), so the nearby customer base continues to grow.

  The Spot, just down the block, seems to be thriving too. If people like it, they will come.

WSB. Speaking of businesses…any updates on the former Top Pot and dry cleaners spaces on Alki?? Also, any word on the Quality Cleaners space at Calif. & Admiral?

WSB February 14, 2022 (12:58 pm)

No, they’re stilll on our watch list.

  Hi how about the Mexicuban in White Center looks like they’re just about ready to open, there’s food pics on their windows?

I noticed someone painting over the scooter girl mural on Sunday. Sigh.

WSB February 14, 2022 (4:28 pm)

Our photo is from Sunday noonish so it would have been after that. The mural dates back to four tenants ago, Café Revo in 2008.

  Ahh, Café Revo!
  
  The south facing mural held up fairly well after 14 years.
  For me, that mural was a bright spot on the WS Bridge detour.
  
  I drove down Avalon around 3pm and someone was just starting to paint over the mural. Driving home at about 5pm, I could see in my mirror they had painted over about a third and left for the day.
