EmmyJaneParticipantI hope! That block could seriously use some help. It’s getting there!

JustSarahParticipantWow, that’s some quality reporting there. Especially love the headline: “Trader Joes’s coming to West Seattle.”
I’m so incredibly grateful we have West Seattle Blog for reporting of a higher caliber, especially if the West Seattle Herald is our alternative.
Anyway, getting back to the substance of that article: is that not the exact same information presented here on WSB by Tracy several weeks back? I don’t see any changes on the DPD site, either.

KBearParticipantThe Herald has alway’s had trouble with apostrophe’s.

B-squaredParticipantHopefully this puts the last nail in the hole foods coffin.

cjboffoliParticipantI think I’d more readily accept the Weekly World News as an authority on something before I’d rely on the Herald to get anything straight.

WSBKeymasterYes, that’s the same information we published here on April 30th, minus having actually talked to Steve Huling and having actually contacted a representative of Trader Joe’s. Here’s our story:
https://westseattleblog.com/2010/04/west-seattle-trader-joes-rumor-watch-location-to-keep-an-eye-on
WSB Forum members, meantime, were the first to note that Burien staffers have been claiming it’s confirmed. While researching our story, I spoke to a manager there who claimed they knew TJ’s was “looking” at WS – which is what TJ’s corporate subsequently confirmed, for the first time – but not that they had nailed something down. Of course, what you tell someone identifying herself as a reporter may be different from what you tell someone you don’t think is going to go tell 25,000 people.
You cannot state that it is coming here just based on a DPD permit, which is why we were very cautious in our headline and approach to the story. If you want to declare that something is so because it’s in the DPD file – take a look at this page:
http://web1.seattle.gov/DPD/permitstatus/Project.aspx?id=6239847
That is another former Huling/Gee (though not Huling-owned) property, 4700 Fauntleroy. I noticed the “Les Schwab” more than a month ago and spent the better part of a week checking with the company directly before learning that this was an old proposal for the site (last fall) that no longer is in play. The DPD site, though, has not been updated.
That said, hey, nothing has occurred in the past two and a half weeks since our initial report to suggest that TJ’s is NOT coming … so as we wrote then, it may indeed be so. I am continuing to follow up, frequently.

pigeonmomParticipantJoes’s- lol

johnnyblegsMemberMaybe the misplaced apostrophe and extra ‘s’ means multiple locations. Fauntleroy AND White Center?
May 18, 2010 at 11:00 pm #694656
KBearParticipantI see the Herald has it spelled both “Joes” and “Joe’s” within the article. But never fear, that missing apostrophe will turn up somewhere else in their paper!

ellenaterMember@johnnyblegs LMAO!
