We had (past tense) two favorite restaurants but found both closed this year. Each had been open for at least 20 years and were always very busy.
The press releases cited 1)new minimum wage, 2) facility rents sky rocketing 3)traffic congestion and 4) down town crime.

#7. Well, for the stupid leftists who support their Marxist governors, mayors, and city councils, a hardy New York’s “FU”.
If they read your 4 reasons why Seattle’s businesses are in trouble, AND STILL BELIEVE IN BEING “PROGRESSIVES”, again, a hardy FU.
“Seattle Leftists, still stuck on stupid”. Gen. Honore’.
You get what you deserve. I saw the beginnings of this crap in the mid-90’s when I was working on a govt case in Seattle. Drug addicts all over the place but downtown was still beautiful and affordable.
Guess who’s never coming back. Did the Space Needle trip - awesome. Seattle’s “Democratic Marxists - shitfaced and traitorous.
Again, you get what you support and deserve.
