BIZNOTE: Here’s who’s moving into prime 35th/Roxbury spot

Less than a year after The Missing Piece moved from 35th/Roxbury to California/Alaska, its old home has a new tenant on the way. We heard from Joey Shevelson, who says he’s opening a music school in the space, as a local franchisee of Bach to Rock. Joey, a West Seattle resident, says he’s a “lifelong musician” but has memories of music lessons that weren’t very fun. He says Bach to Rock – which teaches all ages, not just kids – is “focused on the joy of music.” He told us he doesn’t have a timeline yet as he’s just started the permit process with the city

    Meanwhile, Arbor Heights remains amenity-free,  except for takeout pizza.  That corner (and the neighborhood) begs for a restaurant of some kind.

    Oh, this is exciting!

    I’m still bummed Missing Piece relocated. White Center has nothing like this, has only one independent coffee shop (that is tiny) and West Seattle already has Meeples and multiple coffee shops. It was close to a school and multiple south end neighborhoods. Just sad they’re gone, but I wish any new biz the best and I’m glad the space will be filled!

      Assuming you’re referring to Moonshot, don’t forget Dubsea! (Although neither is open late, which is what I miss about Missing Piece being in this area, not far from our HQ.)

Sorry, comment time is over.
