BIZNOTE: New name, owner for what was Fleurt in the West Seattle Junction

(Images courtesy Fleurt/Willow)

Big announcement from the shop at 4536 California SW in The Junction – a new name and new owner (who customers will already know well)

Hi friends,

We have some exciting news to bring to the neighborhood!

In 2010, Fleurt was founded in the heart of the West Seattle Junction as a small flower shop. Over the years, it grew into something more — a cozy, curated space filled with plants, home goods, accessories, and heartfelt community connections.

As we celebrate 15 wonderful years, we’re thrilled to share that Fleurt is now becoming Willow. While the name is changing, the spirit remains the same. We’re still a family-run business, and now, Keonii – daughter of original owner Sam — will be taking the reins as owner, continuing to lead day-to-day operations with the same love and care you’ve come to know.

At Willow, you’ll still find your favorite brands, along with fresh new finds in jewelry, accessories, clothing, wellness, plants, and home decor.

Join us to toast this exciting new adventure on Saturday, May 3rd from 5-8 PM — we’ll have bubbles, snacks, and lots of love to go around.

Thank you, West Seattle, for 15 amazing years of support. We’re so grateful, and we can’t wait to continue growing with you in this beautiful little corner of the world we all call home.

As our very first story about Fleurt, in 2010, reminds us, the shop originally was located at California/Oregon.

BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: Junction Hardware’s new sign finally up

(Thanks to Clarence for the photo)

Half a year after Junction Hardware (44th/Edmunds) changed alliances and joined up with the Ace Hardware co-op, its biggest sign is finally reflecting the change! The new sign went up this afternoon, not long after the old one was taken down:

(Thanks to Greg for the photo)

In case you missed our earlier stories, this is NOT an ownership change – Junction Hardware is still West Seattle–owned, by Bruce Davis and family. We spoke to him for this update in February, at which time he explained that the sign installation was lagging while they waited months for a city permit; he also explained some other changes, additions, and improvements facilitated by the alliance with Ace. True Value had stopped being a co-op when it was sold to a private-equity firm, and Junction Hardware is glad to be part of one again.

 |   How to help | West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news

Every month, HomeStreet Bank‘s West Seattle branch (4022 SW Alaska; WSB sponsor) showcases a local business or nonprofit, and offers visitors the chance to enter a drawing related to the showcase subject. This past month, it was the Southwest Seattle Historical Society, looking ahead to next Friday night’s fundraiser Story Tellers: A Peninsula and Its People. On Thursday, SWSHS’s Elizabeth Rudrud visited the branch to join employee Gus for the monthly drawing – the winner got a free ticket to the Friday gala. For everybody else – tickets are still available, and get you a great night at Salty’s on Alki, with the chance to bid on some amazing offerings – and even if you absolutely can’t go, you’ll be able to bid in the online auction starting Monday.

Meantime, this month’s showcase at HomeStreet West Seattle features another organization with a fundraising gala coming up soon, the West Seattle Food Bank – they’ve just extended earlybird pricing for their May 3 event Nourish & Flourish until next Friday. Visit the display at HomeStreet any time this month, and in the meantime, get your Nourish & Flourish ticket(s) by going here.

BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: Signage finally up for Westwood Village’s Total Wine & More store

Thanks to Brian for the photo! Almost exactly one year after we first told you Total Wine & More was on the way to Westwood Village, signage finally went up today at the ex-Staples spot in the shopping center’s northeast corner at 25th/Trenton. They have yet to answer our inquiries about their timeline for opening but we’re renewing those inquiries.

BIZNOTE: Duke’s on Alki suddenly shuts down

(Added: WSB photos)

12:02 PM: Thanks for the tip. Duke’s on Alki has suddenly shut down – here’s the email announcement sent to customers:

It is with a heavy heart we share that Duke’s Seafood on Alki has sold and will be closing permanently, effective this morning (Thursday, April 3). This was a location-specific business decision at Alki only. We look forward to welcoming you at any of our 6 other locations: Lake Union, Green Lake, Bellevue, Kent, Southcenter and Tacoma.

More info to come.

1:03 PM: The letter posted at the restaurant has the same statement and a little more, adding that Duke’s is “extremely disappointed to have to do this, given the many challenges we were unable to overcome.” The letter does not elaborate on the challenges, but you might recall that the restaurant had to close last year for several weeks after freezing weather broke a pipe and led to flooding. Duke’s had been open on Alki for a quarter-century. As for the sale mentioned in the closure announcement, records show the building – once owned by Duke’s founder Duke Moscrip – sold two years ago, but nothing more recent than that is on record that we’ve found so far. We’re still researching.

5:17 PM: A spokesperson for Duke’s confirms the restaurant is what was sold, not the property, and that a new restaurant is taking over. Working on those details next.

BIZNOTE: Another West Seattle Triangle automotive business closing (updated Wednesday)

ORIGINAL TUESDAY REPORT: Thanks for the tip. Another automotive business in The Triangle has announced it’s closing. This time it’s Pep Boys (4441 Fauntleroy Way SW). We talked with manager Natasha, who confirmed that May 2 will be the business’s last day. They say the company’s closing this location (which it leases) because of impending light-rail construction; we’re checking with Sound Transit, as 2027 has long been cited as the expected start of construction – the project’s Environmental Impact Statement notes that this site would have been affected by any of the alternatives considered including tunneling into The Junction, which is what the “preferred alternative” calls for. The manager told us one of their employees will retire and the rest will have an option to move to Pep Boys’ SODO location (1961 4th Avenue S.). If you’ve been around more than a few years, you might recall that this was formerly Elliott Tire/Goodyear, until the Pep Boys rebranding in 2018. The closure news comes less than a month after Advance Auto Parts shuttered a short distance north, a closure that company said was part of a West Coast wave of closures. Between AAP and PB is the long-vacant former Midas site.

UPDATE ADDED WEDNESDAY: We asked Sound Transit spokesperson Henry Bendon about this site’s status. He reaffirmed that West Seattle light-rail construction is NOT starting in 2026, and added, “Our real property team has indicated they have not begun acquisition communications with that property (I do not know if they will or if it is impacted, but if it is, they have not started the process yet).”

Olympic Senior Advisors: Welcome, new West Seattle Blog sponsor!

March 28, 2025 11:55 am
|    Comments Off on Olympic Senior Advisors: Welcome, new West Seattle Blog sponsor!
 |   West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news

Today we welcome Olympic Senior Advisors as a new WSB sponsor. When local businesses join the WSB sponsor team, they have the opportunity to tell you about what they do – so here is Olympic Senior Advisors‘ story:

The senior care world can be difficult and overwhelming to navigate. There are more than 4,000 adult family homes and assisted living communities in the greater Puget Sound area alone. Families often become overwhelmed with all the choices and don’t know where to turn. They may wonder which home or assisted living is the right one and they may not know where to begin. Olympic Senior Advisors is here to help families to find the right senior-care options at no cost to the family.

Derek Esses, owner of Olympic Senior Advisors, opened the business right here in West Seattle over 6 years ago to help families find good care options and to help ease the stress of the process. After working in home health for more than 10 years, Derek has made connections with excellent providers that don’t even have public online listings. Once the business began to grow, Derek added to the team because there were more people that needed help and guidance than one person could provide. Olympic Senior Advisors values a team approach allowing the team to work together to find the best possible options for families. Several members of the team live in West Seattle, along with other team members throughout the greater Puget Sound area who are helping to find quality senior-care options for families across the region.

Olympic Senior Advisors work with all budgets because their focus is to help families first, no matter where they are financially. When working with families, the team focuses on care needs, budget, and location. Finances can be difficult for families to discuss, but it is the Olympic Senior Advisors goal to set up every family for success to avoid having to move again due to funds.

Olympic Senior Advisors is a local West Seattle company with pride in our West Seattle roots. We want to help you and your family find the best senior-care options given your needs and to help ease the stress of the process.

You don’t have to do this alone! For a complimentary consultation, call us at 206-473-7657 or email us at info@olympicsenioradvisors.com.

We thank Olympic Senior Advisors for supporting independent community-collaborative people-powered news by sponsoring WSB! If you’re interested in joining the sponsor team, please email WSBadvertising@wsbsales.com – thank you!

BIZNOTES: Opening date set; store for sale; home-selling secrets

Three biznotes tonight:

OPENING DATE SET: Eight months after we first reported that Gene Juarez Salon & Spa was on the way to the former Sound Credit Union space at 4730 California SW, they’ve set the opening date: April 16. (Thanks for the tip!)

(King County Assessor’s Office photo)

STORE FOR SALE: According to an online listing, the Shorewood Grocery is for sale – both the business and the third-acre it sits on at 10445 26th SW. Records show it last changed hands less than three years ago. Since then, it’s been hit by multiple crash-and-grab burglaries.

THINKING ABOUT SELLING YOUR HOME? Also on the topic of real estate, if you’re considering selling your home, West Seattle Realty (2715 California SW; WSB sponsor) wants to share with you “the tricks of the trade for selling your home in this market to ensure your success!” It’s a free event at WSR at 6 pm this Wednesday (March 26). They elaborate, “We will discuss Timing & Strategy, Preparing your Home for the Market, the Importance of Pricing, and will reserve plenty of time for your questions!” in a “casual evening.” They request RSVPs so they can plan – info@westseattlerealty.com is where to send yours.

BIZNOTE: West Seattle Runner seeking ‘Fast Ambassador(s)’

March 24, 2025 11:45 am
|    Comments Off on BIZNOTE: West Seattle Runner seeking ‘Fast Ambassador(s)’
 |   West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news | WS & Sports

Run fast? West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor) could use your help. The shop offers free group runs every week and wants to take them to the next level. Here’s the announcement they asked us to share:

West Seattle Runner is looking for a Fast Ambassador (or 3!) to round out our line-up of offerings for our run group!!! This has been an idea in the works for almost our entire 15 years in business. And so we are now officially on the search.

What we are looking for: Fast Ambassadors to help support and grow a fast contingent to our run group. We have a wonderful group of runners already. We have the middle of the pack paces well covered. We have a Walk Ambassador, Rita, who has welcomed, encouraged and supported our Walker contingent. It has been lovely and we look forward to the continued growth there as well. Over the years, we have experienced folks expressing to us that where we don’t meet their needs is that we don’t have fast enough folks in our group. So, we think the time is ripe to grow this aspect of our running group to better serve all people.

What would our Fast Ambassadors do exactly? We would like to have the Fast Ambassadors share run-group duty in order to be here to run with the fast folks. It’s simple. We would like to be able to post your distance and pace ahead of run group initially to ensure confidence in folks that there will be someone their pace to run with. Over time, this will naturally build a wider range of faster paces as the faster folks come and see that they can have run partners here. The most important thing to cover is group runs on Wednesday and Saturday.

What is in it for our Fast Ambassadors? Other than our extreme gratitude, you will be able to be a leader in our community, will create more runner friendships and enjoy the feeling of helping build something special in our run community by carrying out the West Seattle Runner vision and mission. Practically speaking, we will be able to offer shoes and gear rewards as a thank you.

Who should apply? We want nice people only, no egos. Those who are about something bigger than themselves/service-oriented. Someone who understands that our mission at West Seattle Runner is to continue to build the running community of West Seattle and this happens by helping and supporting others and accepting everyone, no matter where they are on their journey. We want someone who will support the principles of training that we stand for since they are sound and time-tested. Willing to respect what we have built here and understand that others come before self. We do not have hard and fast (pun intended) rules on what pace you have to run in order to be considered. We know we need to start somewhere, and we will likely have a few ambassadors with a pace range, and that is great, over time this will expand.

Reach out with your questions, interest in becoming a Fast Ambassador and any input: lori@westseattlerunner.com. We are super pumped about the future of this!!

BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: Preview Alki Coffee Co./Ben & Jerry’s, opening next month

By Tracy Record
West Seattle Blog editor

Jonathan Stebbins and Mark Mullet (L-R above) are about to open a business full of treats – from Belgian waffles to ice-cream cakes.

But if you stop in to talk with them at their future co-housed Alki Coffee Co./Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream shops at 2742 Alki Avenue SW, you might discover they’re most stoked about the decor.

It’s a work in progress, but there’s already an 11-foot-long paddleboard over the southwest wall. Photos are coming, showing Alki history from a century ago. And – the reclaimed cedar.

A tree that fell during the “bomb cyclone” in their contractor’s Eastside neighborhood has yielded lumber they’re using throughout the shop. (They say they had planned to use reclaimed wood anyway.) Uses include a new facade for the beloved fireplace, a holdover from the space’s previous identity as Alki Starbucks. They told us many of the people who stop by or otherwise contact them want reassurance the fireplace is staying.

It is.

What’s gone is the mostly dark ambience of the previous tenant. Light fills the space, from the ice-cream counter on the east side – where a custom mural is on the way, with Puget Sound orcas echoing the black-and-white patches of the famous Ben & Jerry’s cows.

We first told you about the plan for the space – “2/3 coffee, 1/3 ice cream” – five months ago. We checked in with them recently and found out they had set an opening date – April 23 – so we went over for an in-person update on the plan.

The coffee and ice-cream shops will share the same entrance; a Ben & Jerry’s merch table will serve as the main divider. “Two separate businesses, two separate checkouts.” On the ice-cream side, they’ll be offering 28 flavors (scoops, shakes, sundaes, ice-cream cakes, etc.). And on the coffee side, a lot more food than was mentioned in our early report. Yes, you’ll be able to grab a pastry and go – they’ll have some from Macrina, and some house-made, like banana bread. But they’ll also offer acai bowls, made-to-order crepes, Belgian waffles, DIY topping options, made-to-order breakfast sandwiches, avocado toast, and more. The menu will be on an electronic board:

Jonathan, a 13-year West Seattle resident, says they’re hopeful that’ll fill some of the breakfast void left by recent closures (Alki Café and Admiral’s Bebop Waffle Shop come to mind). They’ll have some non-breakfasty options too, like paninis.

Their coffee roaster is the same one mentioned in our story last October, San Juans-based Local Goods, which has created an “Alki Coffee Co. blend, not super dark.” Jonathan says Local Goods is certified organic, sourcing from women-owned growing companies in Central America.

Back to the decor – the furniture hadn’t arrived when we were there, but they’ll have “comfy” seating by the fireplace, a window bar (with windows/doors that will be open in the summer), some tables (a few outdoors, too). In addition to the reclaimed cedar, some driftwood from north Puget Sound will be on the mantle, they said.

If you’re an evening coffee drinker, Alki Coffee Co.’s hours will make you happy – 7 am to 9 pm. (And they plan to have an app for people who want to order ahead.) The Ben & Jerry’s side will be open noon to 9 pm. While April 23 (a Wednesday) will be the day they plan to open to the public, they’re planning a grand-opening celebration three days later, on Saturday, April 26.

Looking further ahead, they plan to be part of an Alki expansion of the West Seattle Art Walk, so watch for that on second Thursdays in the future.

BIZNOTES: New plant store; restaurant’s new hours

Two West Seattle biznotes so far today:

TERRAPLANTED OPENS: Another new business in South Delridge! Ryan Milles from Terraplanted in the Rozella Building at 9439 16th SW sent photos and news of the recent opening, describing the shop:

A unique and specialized plant shop, offering original plant-related products designed in house (Light Razor Design). We feature innovative and functional products that enhance your living space and complement your personal lifestyle with live plants. We stock an assortment of Tillandsia (Air Plants), Tropical Houseplants, and Indoor Succulents & Cacti. From beginner to collector, we can take care of you.

You’ll find a wide array of handcrafted plant holders, specialty display planters & pots, plant related accessories, supplies, plant care products, and more. We provide a one-of-a-kind experience for customers, focusing on new ideas and innovative designs for keeping, caring, and displaying plants, and bringing life into living spaces.

Terraplanted’s grand-opening celebration is set for Saturday, March 29. Regular hours are 11 am-7 pm Tuesdays-Saturdays, 11 am-6 pm Sundays.

RESTAURANT’S NEW HOURS: As of this week, Camp West (4539 California SW) is open for lunch seven days a week. The announcement sent to us adds, “To celebrate, we’re offering $2.00 off all food items during lunch hours.”

BIZNOTE: New plan for the former-and-future Shack

(WSB photo)

When we reported last month on the closure of The Spot, the property owners told us, “Another small business is already slated to open (in that space at 2920 SW Avalon Way) in the coming months.” Tonight we know what that business will be. In harmony with a historic sign atop the little building, the business there before The Spot was called The Shack – and that’s its future name too. This time, it’ll be operated by veteran restaurateur Heong Soon Park, who bought Luna Park Café next door last fall. His plan for The Shack? Park says, “We are planning to open a coffee and matcha cafe and still call it The Shack to continue the legacy of the building. We do not have the timeline yet, but we are hoping to open the door by June.” They’ll keep operating Luna Park, too, and are planning on a Luna Park Festival this summer – more to come on that.

BIZNOTE: Another new Westwood Village tenant

As we’ve noted many times before, Westwood Village generally only “announces” new tenants by putting them on its frequently updated map. A reader spotted another one that’s appeared – a UPS Store is shown as taking the vacant space on the north side of the breezeway, next to John L. Scott Westwood (WSB sponsor). West Seattle’s previous UPS Store was in Jefferson Square, where the space re-branded after losing its UPS Store affiliation in 2023. We’re checking with the company to see if there’s a timeline for opening the WWV space, which previously held a paint-and-sip studio.

BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: Two West Seattle grand openings

March 13, 2025 12:57 pm
|    Comments Off on BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: Two West Seattle grand openings
 |   West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news

Two new West Seattle business locations are about to have grand openings:

(WSB photo)

EMERALD CITY DRAMA CLUB: We first told you in January about this business moving into 4455 California SW, offering arts and drama classes to K-8-age kids. Proprietor Jessie Kuehm says the grand opening is set for tomorrow (Friday, March 14), starting with a ribboncutting at 4:30 pm, followed by an open house/reception.

LUMINA VASCULAR HEALTH AND LASER CLINIC: This clinic is moving a block south to a new location in remodeled space at 6075 California SW in Morgan Junction, former home to Olympic Tax. Lumina founder Sarah Whitehead, ARNP, and her staff will host a grand opening event on March 29, 4-8 pm, with a ribboncutting at 4:30 pm.

FOLLOWUP: Ex-Admiral Wells Fargo leased

Another commercial-leasing sign caught the eye of two readers who tipped us about it late today/tonight – the northeast corner of California/Admiral, where Wells Fargo closed almost exactly a year ago, has a tenant on the way. Wells Fargo sold the building six months ago for $6.3 million to Mercer Island-based commercial investor/developer Henbart (the former bank is just part of the building). After confirming the “leased” sign, we inquired with the listing broker, Jason Miller of Kidder Mathews, who says he can’t identify the tenant but did describe it as a “local business.” (Nothing in permit or license files yet.)

FOLLOWUP: Ex-West Seattle Brewing up for lease

Thanks for the tip. A little over a month after West Seattle Brewing closed at 4415 Fauntleroy Way SW – where an eviction notice had just gone up – the space is now officially up for lease. Signage on the building, as shown in our photo, offers only a phone number; cross-referencing that number points primarily to an apartment complex in the Capitol Hill area. The space was long a little store called Tervo’s; then in 2011, it became the Corner Store and Deli, and a year later West Seattle Brewing took over.

West Seattle Junction tree updates

Tree updates from the West Seattle Junction Association:

MORE LIGHTING: The image is a screengrab from the city traffic camera pointed north from Walk-All-Ways. The number of year-round light-adorned trees in The Junction is expanding.

WSJA executive director Chris Mackay says it’s being done in three phases, with West Seattle’s own Fleming’s Holiday Lighting – the photo shows recent installation along SW Alaska; this month, trees on California will get lighting from Oregon to Genesee, and then in late March or early April, lighting will be added north of three, along California from Genesee to Dakota.

JUNCTION PLAZA PARK: You might recall our report from November, after a reader tip that someone had butchered the Junction Plaza Park tree that’s illuminated every holiday season. Strategically placed lighting managed to mask the “butchering” for the tree-lighting ceremony, but wasn’t a permanent solution. WSJA was working with Seattle Parks on that. After a reader tip, we confirmed with WSJA’s Mackay what the plan is now: Putting in more trees around the damaged evergreen: “five big winter-flowering camellias, three white and two red … this spring” and then in fall, “a true Christmas tree in the center of the green grass circle area” in the park. The city will pay for that, while WSJA will pay for the camellias. (No, we don’t yet have a site plan showing exactly where these are to be planted.)

BIZNOTE: Change of plans for Flower Lab in Admiral

(Katie, in photo provided by Flower Lab)

Last November, after Bebop Waffle Shop announced its closure at 2600 California SW, with its proprietor planning a pivot to an event space, co-housed Flower Lab was planning to transition to online-only. That’s still the plan, but it’ll be short-lived, explains proprietor Katie in this open letter she shared with WSB as well as her customers:

Wendy and Paul Damoth, the building and business has had my heart and strengthened my floral passion – I’m so honored to have steered the ship these past 4 years. Thank you for being part of this journey. This special community and its ceaseless support has meant everything.
We will be selling off the bulk of all retail, some furniture and some vessels over the next month – please don’t hesitate to come visit and maybe take a piece of Flower Lab with you!

Additionally, I would love to offer referrals and recommendations for your future floral needs, as this community has many wonderful floral designers to choose from.

With love and gratitude,
Katie
Owner, Flower Lab

BIZNOTE: Artist and Muse Salon celebrates milestone anniversary, after opening ‘against all odds’

Getting to five years is a big achievement for a small business. Here’s the announcement we received from Artist and Muse Salon proprietor Keri Slaughter:

Artist and Muse Salon is turning “5”!

We opened our salon against all odds. Opening March 3rd of 2020, we were quickly shut down for the pandemic! Needless to say… we never got to have a proper grand opening. We not only survived, we have grown into a thriving business with the most wonderful staff and we owe it to our amazing community! Thank you for taking a chance with us!

If you’ve never been in… now is your chance to check us out! Come into Artist and Muse Salon on Friday, March 7th or Saturday the 8th, from 9 AM-5 PM. All of our products will be 20% off! We will have a gift with purchase and some incredible door prizes!! Hope to see you there!

The salon is in south Morgan Junction, at 6701 California SW.

BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: BECU sets date for Roxbury Safeway closure

When we noted last week that BECU (WSB sponsor) had opened its new White Center branch on the ground floor of the Elevation 16 mixed-use building at 16th SW and SW 107th, BECU would not confirm that its Roxbury Safeway mini-branch would close as a result. Today, however, the credit union told customers in an email update that the Roxbury Safeway location will indeed close, as of May 31. After a reader tip about that, we checked with BECU, and a spokesperson confirmed:

Our Roxbury location will close at close-of-business on May 31, and we’ll be moving all services to our new White Center location. The team members from our Roxbury location will still be available to help members with their financial needs at the White Center location. With the new, larger location, we are able to offer expanded services including free, in-person seminars (registration now open) with our Financial Health team on topics such as budgeting, debt reduction, and understanding credit scores.

They’ve also finalized plans for their grand-opening celebration on March 19 from 3-5 pm; the event will include speeches at 3:30 pm and a ribboncutting around 3:50.
