BIZNOTES: Ex-Lodge update, Emerald Water Anglers progress (update: open!), PCC party

Three biznotes today:

EX-LODGE UPDATE: When we wrote two weeks ago about the “mystery” of who was moving into the former Lodge space at 4209 SW Alaska – described only as a restaurant – commenters said they’d been told that JaK’s Grill, currently barely half a block away, is the tenant. According to newly filed permit documents, they were correct. No other details yet.

EMERALD WATER ANGLERS PROGRESS: Speaking of Junction business moves – the new location for EWA, the ex-Bin 41 at 4707 California SW, is almost ready:

An employee there when we stopped by a short time ago says they’ll be “90 percent ready” by the time they host a West Seattle Junction Wine Walk (sold out!) stop at 5 pm tonight. Meantime, Emerald Water Anglers‘ original location at 42nd/Oregon remains open until the upcoming changeover. (Evening update: Proprietor Dave McCoy told us during our Wine Walk visit that the new location is now open and the old one has closed!)

PCC PARTY: You’re invited to a birthday party at PCC Community Markets West Seattle (2749 California SW; WSB sponsor) on Saturday, October 5. The store will celebrate PCC’s 35 years in West Seattle with “wine tastings and cake (plus) samples from local makers,” noon-4 pm that day. Also of note, it’s been almost exactly five years since PCC opened their current store on the ground floor of the mixed-use building at the old store’s site.

    That would be great! A much bigger space then their current one.

    I wonder if Jak’s is moving, or they might possibly be opening one of their alehouses there (like the Sunset Alehouse in Issaquah).

      No it’s a full move. They won’t be occupying the current space in any way once the lodge move happens.

    Bigger don’t mean better.  Come now!

    Love the old bldg that Jak’s currently occupies.  Tall ceilings, ornamental.  Very cool.  I grew up in WS.  Was that the former location of Kress?

      Yes indeed as well as the Matador next door 

Sorry, comment time is over.
