Not a surprise for us Enders. Awful place. That's why it was so stunning when the light rail originally ended in the S 154 area. Egads. Nobody ventures there.

The Landing's newest tenant was announced Monday: Cost Plus World Market has signed a lease for the former Golf Galaxy space near LA Fitness.

"We're really excited about the news that Cost Plus World Market is coming to The Landing - and it's been fun to watch the positive response from the community in social media," Suzanne Dale Estey said less than 12 hours after the City made the announcement on its Facebook page. "With this addition plus the next round of leases which are anticipated to be finalized soon, The Landing will be nearing 85-percent leased, which is great. The momentum continues to build and the vibrancy at The Landing is really picking up."

Renton shoppers received Monday's news with far more enthusiasm than the last tenant announcement in February.

Management at The Landing anticipate a Fall opening for the new store, which offers "something for everyone," including gifts, specialty food items, home accessories, and more.

Since the company's humble beginnings on the shipping piers of San Francisco more than 50 years ago, the company has grown to include more than 259 stores across the nation, according to worldmarket.com.

It might be a Bed Bath & Beyond though since they just bought Cost Plus

rj2uman · May 27th, 2012, 07:59 AM

I am still hoping they open up a Trader Joe's at the Landing or near Kent Station.

In the south end, more like Bloodbath & Beyond.

Why do you say that?

Capitol Hill · May 28th, 2012, 09:13 PM

There used to be a movie theater (I think AMC) in the Renton Village )where Uwajimaya Grocery is. Apparently it is reopening as the Roxy Theater, a Bollywood Movie Theater.

I was wondering what was going on there!

Hey, I am new here so I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this in or if this has already been posted.

Anyways, I though this was interesting and pretty cool. It's a new mixed-use project being planned for Des Moines called Waterview Crossing.

mSeattle · November 20th, 2012, 11:54 PM

Welcome! That's very interesting news.

alexjonlin · November 21st, 2012, 01:22 AM

Looks like this was put together in 2008... If it does come back, it will probably be pretty different.

RMacherat · November 21st, 2012, 09:45 AM

I often feel badly because I've so little to offer the forum. All I know about is half a century old. But, alors! I know this place. These people will be right next to the Green River Killer's house. Perhaps when Des Moines capitalizes on the location with an attraction of some sort .. who knows. Not only that, but the frontage has been classic stalking turf ever since the frereway was built. It's been quite niced up in recent years, however, not so many turn-out/loiter locations.

A little surprising they'd permit a 20-story building right where the commuter flights go east.

Discounting the sociological angle, this site has the finest views in a long ways. Huge Mt Rainier AND the Sound/Olympics. Higher floors will see downtown Seattle to Tacoma.

Waterview Crossing at Pacific Ridge. Whodda thought we'd live to see this.

More updates as this progresses.

Exclusive: some news from Seatac. (1) The S. 200th Street Link Extension is coming along, and the Federal Way Extension is starting environmental review and conceptual engineering. This will take four years. (2) Design work is underway to connect the stub of 24th Avenue South to the stub of 28th Avenue South @ S. 200th~208th Street to complete the new corridor for jobs, improved circulation and traffic congestion relief as it opens up 200 acres for much anticipated development. By my Google-measure, this stub connector will be about 1,674 feet long and will be finished in four years.

Doomgoggles · January 6th, 2013, 12:37 PM

That's great, but it's an unbelievable amount of time for a short elevated section.

Last I heard, construction was to start in April. Still ending at 200th. Are you saying that they are trying to extend a bit to 208th or am I confused?

RMacherat · January 6th, 2013, 10:29 PM

I'm sorry Jim, that wasn't clear at all. The second project is a street, long-planned to parallel highway 99/International Blvd for a short stretch to open up for development the desolate land beneath the airport runway approach. For some reason (probably funds,) about 1,674' of it has been left overgrown with vines for years.

Seasun · January 29th, 2013, 07:16 PM

Almost in Tukwila so I figure this is a decent thread for this. I don't think we've tracked the South Transfer Station project much on here. After having erected the steel structure and then taken it down to repaint it - now there are sprinkler lines in the way of the trucks.

Funny.

Kinda similar: When I moved into my current building I opened my storage locker door, and it went BANG into the ceiling flourescent light.

That's one reason why even a lot of basic jobs are speccing BIM these days.

Seasun · January 30th, 2013, 03:13 AM

It is amusing how much BIM can miss not only from a "will it fit" test but also the "can it be constructed in the sequence it would have to be installed in" test. That is the more challenging test of this beam is to be installed here but are there obstacles that prevent it from being installed (very simple example). Construction simulation programs help with this but even those really just have the components magically appear in their final position but they do help to recognize that say a certain footing hasn't been installed yet and a column is suspended in mid-air.
