Dovetail projects in New York Times!


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.

Sitka and Spruce featured in Remodelista blog


Sitka and Spruce, a recent Dovetail commercial tenant improvement project, is featured in the Remodelista design blog. Of the build-out, Remodelista says "the space is a compelling mix of rustic (open kitchen with wood-fired hearth) and industrial (original factory windows, exposed concrete walls)". Check out the Remodelista post for some more photos and commentary on this very special restaurant. Even better, head to Sitka and Spruce up on Capitol Hill and treat yourself to a delicious meal in an inspiring setting!
