At the start of June, we noted that activity within the Seattle’s SDCI Permit Portal showed updates to the contact list on the Master Use Permit indicating a new developer was taking over the project.  This new developer, Madison Developement Group, had submitted both an update to the contact sheet as well as an update to the design package to address outstanding questions from the city.  Activity on the project and the permit process appeared to be once again underway.  However, to their credit, the property owner never did provide us with formal notification of this new developer despite our Read More …

Wedgwood Public is set to close on Saturday, August 15th.  A sign titled “A Heartfelt Goodbye” was attached to their front door earlier this week announcing the closure and thanking customers who welcomed them to the neighborhood since their opening in November 2024.

This follows the recent announcement of Wells Fargo’s plans to close their Wedgwood Branch in November, immediately north of the Wedgwood Public. The Wedwood Public opened following the closure of the Wedgwood Read More …

Customers of Wells Fargo’s Wedgwood Branch began recieving letters on Monday, August 3rd, that the branch location is to close on November 4th.  This has been confirmed with staff at the branch.  We understand from staff at the branch that the decision was a business decision and that Wells Fargo does not have plans for the property, which they own.  The closure follows a pattern nationally of banks closing branches as more customers shift to online banking and appears to be similar to the closure of the former US Bank across the street, where Mechanics Bank will be relocating to Read More …
