Funtiques, one of two long-time vintage and antique stores just east of where 15th Avenue NE and NE 65th Street meet, has been vacant for quite some time. And this week, orange notes taped to the business’s windows finally made it official:

Thank you so much Tom for the many years of dedication, it is upon your talents that much of Funtiques was built. Thanks to Silhouette for watching over us. Much gratitiude CEO for the care of my entire family for so many years!
My family has spent many hours supporting so many shops in the Roosevelt area and thank you all for taking such great care of us!
We are posting this notice for 30 days in hopes that the few consignors that have product left will leave contact information. After 30 days all items will be considered abandoned and become the sole property of Funtiques and will be disposed of at our discretion. After 30 days all contracts are Null and Void.

You will be contacted and arrangements will be made for pick-up of items prior to the liquidation sale. A donation to the Teen Center will be made from the sale of the leftover consignment items.
The entire building has been entered into a long termed lease agreement at this time and will not be place on the market.

PS: Keep an eye out for further posting of the BIG sale! This one will be great fun!
Three of the four buildings along the north side of the 1500 block of NE 65th Street now sit unoccupied: Vacant Funtiques joins empty Espresso Express (which closed on July 15, 2013) and the boarded up craftsman in between them. The other building, home of Silhouettes, is still open for business.
The King County Parcel Viewer names the taxpayer of the property at 6502 15th Ave NE (Espresso Express) as “SISLEY HUGH K.” Both the house at 1508 NE 65th Street and the Funtiques property are listed under “SISLEY HUGH K+MARTHA E.” The building that houses Silhouette (1516 NE 65th St) is listed under “MROCZEK LUCILLE B.”
This design is spectacular! Youu oobviously know how to keep a
reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjolyed what you
had to say, and more than that, howw you presented it.
Too cool!
Hough has model new the country cd and also, remember, though,but we don’t even think that her beat up boots are doing her without change precious Alice + Olivia coloring highlights,garments numerous wedding favors.
why don’t you think that it is something worth looking into. If people are being dicriminated agaist that is a problem. We need to make a stand and say that we won’t take that. Discrimination is not acceptable.
