West Seattle Rooftop Dining

[callmecaroline]

Does anyone know why West Seattle has so many high rises but zero rooftop bars/restaurants? I thought one might pop up over the years, but most of these apartment buildings just have a hang out area for residents. Is rooftop dining not allowed on these building permits? or has no one thought of that? (Which I highly doubt.)

Pretty clear that no developer or restaurant believes there would be economic viability in building one.

Interesting question; imagine the logistics, though, the amount of raw material that would have to be brought up by elevator, the amount of waste (not just food scraps but also vats of used cooking oil) that would have to find its way down … Might be worth it for an amazing view/experience proposition like the Space Needle restaurant but none of our 7-story buildings really have a rooftop that’s all that. – TR

The buildings you are referring to are apartment buildings. Rooftop dining needs an established restaurant where there is an adjunct outdoor dining area.
