West Seattle, Washington
04 Saturday
Three Junction business updates:
THE MISSING PIECE MOVE UPDATE: Readers have been asking about the status of The Missing Piece game store/café‘s move into the ex-Pharmaca space at 4707 California SW. We checked in today; they told us they’re still awaiting a few inspections, so the reopening date isn’t set yet. We’ll of course be following up, but they also offered a tip: As soon as they set a date, table-reservation slots will open up on their website.
PAPER BOAT PLAYOFFS SALE: Paper Boat Booksellers (4522 California SW) owners Desirae and Eric Judy are such major Mariners fans, they’re having a sale that they say will last as long as the team stays in the playoffs – buy one hardcover book in-store, get 25% off a second one. This starts tomorrow (Saturday, October 4, the date of the M’s first best-of-five American League Division Series game).
FOURTH EMERALD GAMES: The new gaming lounge/shop at 4517 California SW (upstairs) is hosting a murder-mystery game on October 11, and tomorrow is your last chance to get early-bird pricing:
Experience “The Curious Carnival,” a murder mystery event with Foulplay. Take on the role of various circus performers and work to uncover the murderer who ruined the act. Your ticket includes refreshments and two drink tickets from Revelry Room. There will be three games throughout the day — pick your preferred time.
The times are 3 pm, 5:30 pm, and 8 pm. Here’s the link.
“Every time I open the door, I feel humbled,” beamed Nyla Bittermann, who recently celebrated 16 years of running Cherry Consignment in The Junction. We photographed Nyla at Mechanics Bank, also in The Junction, at the end of Cherry’s run in the September small-business showcase aat the bank. It was the first one since Mechanics took over the former HomeStreet Bank, a continuation of the branch’s tradition and further proof that – as the sign says – only the name changed. Each month’s showcase ends with a drawing for a prize donated by the featured business, this month a $50 gift card for Cherry Consignment, and we photographed Nyla with Mechanics Bank’s Andrew Tento as they drew the winning entry earlier this week. All you have to do to enter a drawing is visit the branch at 4022 SW Alaska. This month’s spotlight will be shining on ArtsWest.
West Seattle Autoworks (WSB sponsor) is celebrating 15 years in business!
Back in 2010, we opened our doors just as the recession was making its dramatic exit. From that very first day on October 1st, you’ve showered us with your trust and support, and we are so grateful! Through a pandemic and, oh yeah, a 2 ½-YEAR BRIDGE SHUTDOWN, your loyalty kept our shop busy and our team going. While half of small businesses don’t make it to 5 years, we’ve made it to 15! A massive thank you, West Seattle!
Chris, Kacie, Pedro, Michael, Elliott, Alex, Joe, and Nate
West Seattle Autoworks is on the southwest corner of 35th and Webster.
Thanks to the texter who sent that photo! We saw the sign for Café Verde (7354 35th SW) too, while passing by on our way home from a nighttime meeting, and already had an inquiry out to the proprietors by the time we started getting tips. We first reported on Café Verde’s West Seattle plan a year and a half ago; co-proprietor K.C. explained then that he and spouse Tatiana, West Seattle residents, have been roasting coffee in Auburn but planned to move that operation to the Sunrise Heights space and serve up drinks too. Asked for an update via email, K.C. told WSB last night:
We hope to open the coffee shop by November. We are in the final stages of installing the roasting equipment, inspections and calibrations. Our goal remains the same, to serve delicious fresh-roasted coffee by the bag and by the cup. This space will allow us to do both.
In our April 2024 story, we quoted K.C. as elaborating, “You wouldn’t buy specialty bread baked a month ago … we don’t think you should have to drink coffee roasted a month ago.” They have history at this – they once operated a combination roastery/coffee shop in Peru.
“We have moved into the heart of West Seattle: the Alaska Junction,” declare Daniel and Julie Sas, owners of West Seattle Tattoo, looking ahead to their “grand reopening” in a new location this Saturday (September 27), Here’s their story:
We moved here in 2019 and worked at Blue Geisha Tattoo until they had to close down months later due to COVID. Once we were allowed to in 2020, we opened a private studio in the ActiveSpace building by the bridge for a year before opening West Seattle Tattoo. Since 2021 for the last 4 years we have been at 3902 California Ave SW, in the house with the lawn next to Olympia Coffee. Right in the middle of the [Admiral and Alaska] Junctions. But we are excited to be entering our 5th year in business and 4th as a street shop. The new address is 4517 California Ave SW. We are in the breezeway next to Supreme Pizza on the second floor. Our Grand Reopening is September 27th from 12-5, where all of our entire flash-art wall is %25 off. We have a fun plinko board people can play for the designs in a Get What You Get game or they can just choose.
Thanks for the tip and pics! Westwood Village is about to see its second grand opening of the month. Eight months after we first told you a J.Crew Factory store was on the way, it’s opening this Thursday (September 18) at 10 am, according to signage at the store.
The clothing store took over the spaces that formerly held GameStop and Bronz’d. According to the company website, it’ll be open 10 am-8 pm daily except Sundays, when it will close at 7 pm.
Two biznotes about sales happening today:

1660 Harbor Ave SW
‘NAME YOUR PRICE’ JUNK SALE: Razzie’s Junk Removal, at the former Tony’s Market (35th/Barton), is selling off some of what it’s collected, to celebrate its 1-year anniversary. Stop by before 4 pm today.
Proprietor Raz Vorng explains, “Most of the items come from customers’ homes. A lot of these things are stil in good condition and I can’t see myself tossing it out, owners simply wanted them gone. Normally I donate everything to nonprofits, but recently they asked me to pause since they’ve been overwhelmed with donations. Because of that, I’ve started setting aside the good items we collect.” And today, they’re available for purchase, you name the price.
On Sundays we often mention notable stories expected in the week ahead. This time around – West Seattle will see its second drugstore closure in two weeks. The Walgreens store at 9456 16th SW announced last month that it’s closing as of Wednesday, September 10. No reason was given, but we had noted a month earlier that the building’s owner had listed it for sale (and it doesn’t appear to have sold yet). If you’ve been a customer at this Walgreens and haven’t taken other action, the company says it’ll transfer your prescription to the High Point Walgreens, which will remain open. The other local drugstore that closed was the Westwood Village Rite Aid, two weeks ago, less than a mile away, the only one of four Rite Aid-owned West Seattle drugstores that was shut down instead of converting to CVS.
6:31 PM: Just went over to check the closure signage. It says the store and pharmacy both will close at noon Wednesday.
Three biznotes today:
SAUNA ON THE SHORE: Alki already has one, and now another West Seattle beach park will be getting regular visits from a mobile sauna. Good Day Sauna is owned by Julia Winter and based in West Seattle. She explains: is a
Beginning September 20, 2025, our sauna will be stationed at Lincoln Park for scheduled events, located along the beach path to offer guests a seamless heat-up and cool-down experience with direct access to Puget Sound.
As demand grows, we plan to increase our presence and establish a regular schedule at the park. Good Day Sauna operates as a community sauna, with individual seats available for booking to encourage shared wellness and connection.
Julia has online booking for Good Day Sauna at gooddaysauna.com.
IN PIZZA WE CRUST UPDATE: This pizza joint long in the works for the former Swinery at 3207 California SW is getting closer to opening, proprietor Stephanie Tran told us when we inquired for the first time in four months: “We are finally making some headway. The city of Seattle finally approved our change of use permit last week and we are now pending our final inspection with the health department. I don’t have an official date yet as I’m waiting for the health department but we’ll likely open a couple weeks after the inspection.”
PANDA EXPRESS CEREMONY: One day after the Westwood Village Panda Express started serving customers with a “soft open,” they had a grand-opening ceremony this morning. We met manager Sophia – who has worked her way up through the ranks at other Puget Sound locations – and regional director Simon – they’re holding the commemorative T-shirt given to the first 88 guests:
Simon thanked the 20 or so people in line and introduced the Inochi Taiko duo:
West Seattle Chamber of Commerce executive director Rachel Porter coordinated the official ribboncutting:
Other businesses with future openings at WWV include J.Crew Factory, a UPS Store, an H&R Block branch, and F45 Training.
Two name-change followups:
ADMIRAL CVS: West Seattle is now officially without a Bartell Drugs store. The third local drugstore to become a CVS, the ex-Bartell in Admiral, reopened today under the new name. WSB’s Hayden Yu Andersen reports that it’s open but still in transition, as all the parking-lot activity suggests:
The Jefferson Square ex-Bartell made the same changeover last week.
MECHANICS BANK: As previously reported, this Northern California-based bank has taken over HomeStreet Bank, and now that it’s official, they’re commenting on how it will affect West Seattle customers. Bottom line: It mostly won’t. A Mechanics Bank spokesperson confirmed to us that the West Seattle Junction branch (and all other former HomeStreet branches) will remain open, that the staff will be the same, and the hours/days will be the same. Any products/services changing? That reply: “Generally speaking, there are no changes. Customer accounts and services will remain unchanged. As we prepare to integrate systems (sometime in early 2026), we will provide advance information about any future changes to products and services.”
As mentioned here last week, HomeStreet Bank becomes part of Bay Area-based Mechanics Bank as of tomorrow, and while in The Junction this afternoon, we noted the signage is up at 4022 SW Alaska. Both companies have century-plus histories, but their branches have been in different areas, so there’s no overlap here or elsewhere, we’re told. Before the name change, what was then HomeStreet had one last event:
(Bank-provided photo)
The branch had been showcasing local independent businesses every month, closing out the month with a drawing – this month’s showcase featured M & M Balloon Co.
Quick updates:
WENDY’S WHITE CENTER: We just went over to 10050 16th SW to see if they indeed made their “target date” of today. A worker outside told us no, they’re not open yet, but aiming for “tomorrow after lunch.” We’re awaiting an official reply from the franchisee. (Signage wasn’t up yet either.)
PANDA EXPRESS COUNTDOWN, SORT OF: When last we heard from Panda Express about the Westwood Village location, they were hoping for “the week of September 8.” Then a sign went up three days ago (as noted by a commenter) declaring “coming soon – 4 days.” The sign then switched to “3 days.” But we just checked on our way back from White Center, and it’s been stuck on “3 days” for two days now.
ELSEWHERE IN WESTWOOD VILLAGE: The fourth year of Spirit Halloween temporarily taking over the ex-Bed Bath and Beyond has begun – they’re now open.
LAST DAY BEFORE MOVE: And a reminder, also in the south end: Today is the last day for The Missing Piece Café and Game Lounge at its original 35th/Roxbury location. As first noted here in May, they’re moving to the ex-Pharmaca space in The Junction, 4707 California SW, next to Emerald Water Anglers and KeyBank. The Missing Piece hopes to be open there “the second week of September” if all goes well. (No word yet about a 35th/Roxbury successor.)
This Thursday, Hotwire Coffee (4410 California SW) celebrates its 23rd anniversary, and as is often the case with business anniversaries, customers get the gift(s). Hotwire will offer 23 percent off everything on its menu that day, and plans to serve a limited-edition “23 Latte” to celebrate (with touches of brown sugar, Madagascar vanilla, and cinnamon). Proprietor Jeffrey Silva says the shop will be open 6:30 am to 5 pm that day (September 4).
By the tie we visited Thunder Road Guitars (6400 California SW; WSB sponsor) this afternoon, founder/proprietor Frank Gross already had been dunked about 20 times as part of a soggy sideline during their one-day holiday-weekend sale and West Seattle Food Bank benefit. Appropriately enough, the guy who dunked Frank in our video was Rob from Gretsch Guitars, which donated this Gretsch ’57 Duo Jet guitar for another highlight of sale day, a raffle:
Frank is looking forward to more dunking – he insists it’s “refreshing” every time – with the dunkers so far even including his own kids, who he reports were extra-enthusiastic about dunking Dad. One way to get your turn is to bring nonperishable food for this West Seattle Food Bank bin in the shop:
Even better, buy a guitar, pedal, or amplifier – not only do you get three shots at dunking Frank, you’ll also be helping WSFB, because he’s donating 10 percent of sale-day proceeds. The tank is behind the store, and Frank notes that the dunking idea came from a staff member, adding that it wasn’t as hard to find a dunk tank as you might think – they found a rental business that deals in “unusual things” and they just happened to have one. This is all set to continue until 6 pm.
Multiple readers have asked about that big drill rig that’s appeared between ActivSpace and West Coast Self-Storage toward the south end of Harbor Avenue SW. A map check showed it’s parked on property belonging to West Coast Self-Storage (3252 Harbor Ave SW), so we checked in with WCSS’s manager Crystal this afternoon. She said the equipment is there as part of the work of completing their facility, which has been built in phases. She said the final phase includes one more building. The construction permit filed with the city shows the building at a new address, 3300 Harbor Ave SW, and having 3 stories with a mix of parking and storage, but does not have a count on the number of self-storage units. The storage facility on the site to the north has 852 units. Crystal told WSB there shouldn’t be any traffic impacts during construction aside from trucks entering and leaving the property. West Coast Self Storage has been open at the Harbor Avenue location since August of 2020.
Three West Seattle business notes:
BANK CHANGES: Today is the last day that the Junction bank at 4022 SW Alaska will be HomeStreet Bank. HomeStreet’s merger “with and into” Mechanics Bank takes effect at the start of business Tuesday (September 2). Each bank has a century-plus history; Mechanics Bank is headquartered in the Bay Area city of Walnut Creek, while HomeStreet is headquartered in Seattle. HomeStreet (a longtime WSB sponsor) is declining comment on operational specifics until after the takeover is official on Tuesday. HomeStreet has been in West Seattle since buying what previously was an AmericanWest Bank branch in 2013. (Side note: The HomeStreet-to-Mechanics change follows another recent West Seattle bank-name change – what was the Umpqua Bank branch near Admiral Safeway is now Columbia Bank. We’re told this was a side effect of Columbia, which owns Umpqua, acquiring Pacific Premier.)
THE MISSING PIECE UPDATE: We’ve been reporting since May on The Missing Piece‘s plan to move the café/gaming store/lounge from 35th/Roxbury to California/Alaska (the empty-for-three-years ex-Pharmaca space, next to KeyBank and Emerald Water Anglers). We checked in with proprietor Eric to see if the move was still on schedule. He tells WSB, “Our last day at the current location is this Monday, September 1st. We are running a 10% off moving sale all weekend on games and accessories.” As for The Missing Piece’s opening date in The Junction, depending on how inspections go, he’s hoping for the second week in September.
ART GARDEN OPENING WEEKEND: Artist/teacher Shelley Irish is opening The Art Garden in Gatewood’s artist hub The Building with an open house this weekend. Her announcement:

Reporting for West Seattle Blog
There is a flurry of activity in the Jefferson Square parking lot today, with containers being unloaded ahead of the reopening of the former Bartell Drugs as a CVS Pharmacy store tomorrow.
The store is closed today, as dozens of workers tote up inventory, bring in display cases, and change over the computer systems. Assistant Manager Ryan tells WSB all of the staff is continuing to work in the store, including the pharmacists. As we previously reported, prescriptions that have been handled by Bartells will be moved to CVS automatically. The store will also start to accept the CVS reward card, though Ryan said depending on how the system switchover goes, that may not happen on day one.
What may take a little longer is all the training that staff will need, and Ryan asked customers for patience. “We’ll be relearning a lot of stuff,” he says, and having the help of CVS managers for the first few weeks. At the end of that time, he also expects more inventory to start arriving. “When we get more product, we’ll be busier,” which means more options for customers. “Working with more products is nice for everyone.”
He’s expecting more variety and more seasonal items, but it’s unclear how much the Bartell and CVS inventories will overlaps. Ryan did say that after they reopen tomorrow, selected items will be on sale, as much as 75 percent off.
CVS at Jefferson Square will be open tomorrow starting at 9 am and follow the same open hours as Bartells did.
The Admiral Bartell Drugs store is scheduled for a similar transition next week, as we first reported two months ago. Staff there tells WSB today that the store will close at noon Tuesday (September 2) and will reopen Wednesday (September 3) as CVS. Part of one aisle has selected Rite Aid-branded items at a 90 percent discount right now.
We’re told the Admiral staff is staying on, too. This will be the third and final West Seattle drugstore taken over by CVS as a result of the Rite Aid bankruptcy; the Westwood Village Rite Aid was not acquired, and closed permanently earlier this week.
The facade signage is gone and that hand-lettered sign on the door confirms that the only Rite Aid-owned West Seattle drugstore NOT converting to a CVS is officially closed. We first reported two months ago that the Westwood Village Rite Aid store would be closed as of today; the center’s owners have listed the space as available for lease, but no hint of a new tenant so far.
Of the other three Rite Aid-owned West Seattle drugstores, the former RA on California SW has already converted to a CVS; the two Bartell Drugs stores are set to do so within the next two weeks. Meantime, the South Delridge Walgreens – kitty-corner from the closed-and-sold ex-White Center Bartell store – is set to close September 10, as we first reported earlier this month.
Thunder Road Guitars (6400 California SW; WSB sponsor) has an upcoming end-of-summer sale with a twist – actually two: It’s donating part of the proceeds on Saturday, August 30, to the West Seattle Food Bank, while putting TRG proprietor Frank Gross in a dunk tank! Here’s the announcement, in video and text:
Announcing the Thunder Road Summer “Dunk Frank in the Tank” Event. Join us Saturday, August 30th, for amazing one-day-only deals and your chance to win a FREE Gretsch ’57 Duo Jet courtesy of our friends at Gretsch Guitars.
We decided to partner with the West Seattle Food Bank for this event and will be donating 10% of our sales on the 30th to the food bank. We are also going to have Frank in a dunk tank all day…. Just how do you dunk Frank in the tank, you ask? Bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the West Seattle Food Bank or purchase a guitar, amplifier, or pedal. Either one of those gets you 3 throws at our fearless leader and a limited TRG shirt for the event (while supplies last). So join us August 30th, 12-6 pm, for a day of insane deals and help us raise some money for the WS Food Bank.

Uncertainty.
That’s the word that arose again and again during a West Seattle small-business roundtable discussion this afternoon, led by Seattle Port Commission president Toshiko Hasegawa with state Commerce Department director Joe Nguyen. They talked at Gary’s Place on Alki with the arcade’s owners Elyssa and Matt Cichy, Greg Whittaker of Mountain to Sound Outfitters (WSB sponsor) and Alki Kayak Tours, Dave McCoy of Emerald Water Anglers, Julie Mierzwiak of Realfine Coffee, Dan McKisson of the International Longshore & Warehouse Union, Rachel Porter of the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce, Chris Mackay of the West Seattle Junction Association, and Jordan Crawley, who operates Alki Beach Academy and is on the WSCC board.
The purpose of the by-invitation gathering was to find out how tariffs are affecting small local businesses. This is how it began, starting with an explanation by Lindsay Wolpa of the Northwest Seaport Alliance, the cargo-shipping joint port authority of Seattle and Tacoma – and continuing with remarks by Hasegawa – whose port presidency also means she’s co-chair of the alliance’s managing members – and Nguyen:
The uncertainty really hits hard as businesses try to plan in advance, not knowing what will be happening, how things will be changing, how prices will be changing. You can get some of the sense of that listening to this excerpt of the conversation, starting with Whittaker, whose shop focuses on seasonal merchandise – mountain and water gear:
McCoy said he deals with about 140 vendors, and around 120 of them have raised prices from three to 11 percent “since the tariff war began.” Some have tried to absorb it, but have warned that they eventually will have to pass it on. And less revenue for businesses, because of higher costs, means less money to employ people. McCoy, whose shop is focused on fishing and other outdoor gear and apparel, said “volume” is all that’s been keeping him afloat.
The tariff situation isn’t just a matter of one country here and one country there – McCoy and Whittaker talked about merchandise made with materials from a multitude of countries: “It’s so complex, I don’t feel like I have any control.”
For the Cichys, buying what they need to run arcades is a challenge too. “We’re blowing our budget to get what we need,” said Elyssa. Matt added, “We don’t know what kind of price increase we’re going to face. … It’s stressful.” So far, they are trying to avoid passing price increases through to their customers. “We’re trying to make an accessible place for everyone.”
It’s not only about prices/costs, observed some of the participants. “Uncertainty decreases innovation,” Whittaker said.
Hasegawa and Nguyen asked the business owners what kind of resources they use to find out about tariffs, about loan/grant opportunities, and other information vital to keeping their doors open. The two business organizations represented at the gathering – the Chamber of Commerce and the Junction Association – talked about how they try to help their members with that.
But ultimately, it would be ideal if this weren’t happening at all, said Nguyen: “What’s frustrating is that this is all so unnecessary.”
Further up the supply chain, McKisson talked about how longshore workers are affected. Port cargo traffic has been “volatile,” it was noted earlier, and that volatility translates into work uncertainty for those whose jobs depend on shipping.
He wasn’t the only one who talked about how the situation has affected employees – their wages don’t go so far because of the rising prices in the greater economy, and they have to focus on essentials, maybe even get a second job. Hasegawa expressed admiration for their efforts to keep their businesses going and keep their staffs employed. “So much resilience,” she observed, then asking: What kind of community support are you getting/giving?
Business owners talked about encouraging customers to support other local businesses too, trying to find ways to help people understand the importance. Business organization leaders spoke about the events they’ve organized to bring people into local businesses, such as The Junction’s festivals and Wine Walks.
When a chance for media Q&A arose at the end, we asked Hasegawa what she planned to do with/about all the stories she’d heard during the roundtable. She said the port and NWSA are continuing to directly communicate with the federal government about the effects that tariffs and other policies are having, and that’ll also happen during a trip next month to D.C.
But ultimately, local advocacy and support will make the biggest difference, Nguyen suggested: “We can’t control what happens in the White House, but we can control what happens in our neighborhoods.”
Il Nido, the restaurant that operates in the landmark Alki Homestead/Fir Lodge building at 2717 61st SW, has just announced a temporary closure for emergency repairs. Here’s the announcement they sent us to share with you:
Dear Il Nido guests: We are closing Tuesday, August 26th to Monday, September 1st for emergency repairs to our kitchen floor. Please pardon this inconvenience, it is always our pleasure to welcome guests, but this is an unavoidable occurrence. We are hoping to reopen on Tuesday, September 2nd.
If you would like to help us reopen Il Nido by purchasing a Gift Card online, we would love your support! Your purchase will cover costs for labor, food, and beverages as we finish repairs. Once we reopen, redeem your Gift Card for dinner with us. Despite being busy, our margins are slim and this closure is financially challenging. We aim to complete repairs quickly without borrowing money. Many Seattle restaurants have closed recently, highlighting industry challenges. The Il Nido team values being part of the West Seattle community and wants to keep welcoming you to the historic Fir Lodge cabin.

A reader texted us over the weekend to say, “Looks like Nucor is getting a dark green paint job. Looks great!” No photo, so we went over to have a look late today. Our photo shows the south side of the steel-recycling mill, along SW Andover, visible from West Seattle Health Club. We asked a spokesperson for Nucor (which is a WSB sponsor) about the repainting – here’s what we heard back:
We are in the midst of painting the buildings at our local mill this summer and anticipate doing an additional round of painting next year, including building roofs. This investment is part of our overall work to maintain our mill responsibly for our teammates and our neighbors. We chose green to help reflect the character of our neighborhood. The last time the mill was painted was about a decade ago and it was time for a fresh coat. We look forward to making additional investments at the mill, like the removal of the old, decommissioned smokestacks and the current painting project.
We reported on the smokestack removal back in May.
P.S. The repainting’s not done yet, so you can still see the previous beige-ish color on part of the building.
