- MOD Pizza will be opening in the vacant northwest corner of the Weyerhaeuser HQ, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal (paywalled). Owner Scott Svenson is targeting an April 2019 opening. I reviewed their Union Square location in January 2017. It's good and will give (struggling?) RPM a run for its money, some extreme competition to Pizza Professionals, and a higher quality alternative to Domino's upcoming 1st Avenue location.
- Rain Shadow Meats ^2 is closing on Friday, May 18. Eater.com quotes the owner as blaming a construction-based sales drop and an increase in rent as the reason. I'll miss it a little bit, although Delicatus has a tastier, sloppier french dip.
- Also closed? closing? undecided? is Pittsburgh Lunch and Superette, formerly Faerie Queen. Eater.com says they closed in December, with a Facebook post promising a February reopening. Their web page says March. It's mid-May.
- Next door, a yet-unnamed Italian restaurant (Bisato?) will be opening later this year. Sounds like it could be pricey, but it's got decent credentials.
- Two food trucks in the park not enough? One visionary is considering a street food market in front of King Street Station.
- General Porpoise Donuts is open. Bring some to our next meeting, will you? Thanks.
