Dispatches from Ravenna, a neighborhood in Northeast Seattle
After nearly 70 years, Northlake Tavern and Pizza House — known for pizzas that easily weighed six pounds — has closed its doors. But not before fans returned for one last slice of history.

UPDATE on doggy daycare fire… employees believe ALL the dogs are accounted for. One worker says 5 dogs had to be taken to the ER, badly hurt. All other dogs are being retrieved by their owners. I’m told it’s an exhausting process tracking down the owners of each puppy
Seattle Dog Resort, just north of Hellbent Brewing on LCW. Across from Fred Meyer.
Crews are responding to reports of a fire in a commercial building near the 13000 block of Lake City Way NE. Please avoid the area.
Anyone missing a cat? Found today 1/31 in Ravenna Park and posted on Facebook. (cc @RavennaBlog)

We love Burgermaster as much or more than anyone, but they can always set up shop in the first floor of one of the apartment buildings if the restaurant decides to pursue it, no?
Seattle needs more housing. (And losing some of those 684 parking spaces would make it cheaper btw.)
ZOMG a fast food joint is being replaced by an apartment building in U Village AND NOW PEOPLE WANT TO LANDMARK THE BURGERMASTER.
NEW: After taking 40% of the vote against Teresa Mosqueda for a city-wide seat in 2021, Kenneth Wilson has again filed to run for Seattle City Council, now seeking the District 4 seat held by outgoing incumbent Alex Pedersen.

Fate of old Fire Station 38 to be decided by City Council; public comment period begins
Now that the new Fire Station 38 (4004 NE 55th St) fully operational, it’s time to determine the fate of the old one (5503 33rd Ave NE).
Your new house?
From today’s press release (from the City of Seattle’s Department of Finance and Administrative Services; emphasis mine):
If sold, the Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Levy Fund (which paid for the new fire station’s construction) could be refilled to the tune of a million dollars — the property was appraised at just over a million dollars in 2009, according to King County property records.
The building itself was granted landmark status in 2004; therefore, changes in the structure are limited and the city’s Historic Preservation Program must be contacted prior. (Read the full Seattle Fire Station No. 38 Landmark Nomination Report (pdf; 26 pages!) for more information on the history of the Fire Station 38 and the surrounding neighborhood.)
Comments about the sale of old Fire Station 38 are due by May 18, and will be incorporated into documentation presented to the City Council. Send your comments to Rich Gholaghong via phone (684â€0701), by eâ€mail (richard.gholaghong@seattle.gov) or by regular mail (Rich Gholaghong, FAS Real Estate Services, P.O. Box 94689, Seattle WA 98124â€4689).
