This past Sunday New York Times Travel Section features a piece about spending "36 Hours in Seattle". The writer, David Laskin, is clearly enamored with our blossom-filled spring weather, but he is most excited about our neighborhoods that are being transformed "into vibrant enclaves of restaurants bars and galleries. With so many converted and repurposed buildings, Seattle's cityscape is starting to look as layered as the wardrobes of its inhabitants." Dovetail is very pleased to take an active role in converting and repurposing some of our neighborhoods' historic buildings to add to Seattle's vibrant urban culture. Laskin mentions several Dovetail projects, including Sitka and Spruce ("One of the most talked-about restaurants in town") and Oddfellows Cafe & Bar. The well-researched 'insider' article also mentions some neat spots around the city that may not be familiar even to long-time Seattle residents! Make sure to also check out the well-photographed online slideshow to go with the story.
Kudos for a very beautiful job on Sitka & Spruce! It is a far improvement to their old digs on Eastlake.
ReplyDeleteFor those who are not familiar with their new location, Sitka & Spruce is located in the Melrose Market, an amazingly vibrant collection of shops ala the food markets/bazaars of europe, east coast, and other urbane locales. Think of it as one-stop shopping for your next dinner party - butcher (for you carnivores), cheese, wine, and florist...all under one roof.
For more info about the other shops surrounding/supporting Sitka & Spruce, check out our blog post.

Looks like this general contractor is doing a great job! I think they were working on a project like this up in Chambersburg Pa too. But I haven't been up there for awhile now.
ReplyDeleteAwesome synopsis in this article! I love that you added the pictures, they add a lot of emotion :)
