That’s what the Shilshole Blog asked some time ago about that new building under construction along the water next to Ray’s Boathouse, right at the entrance to the Locks. We looked up the land use filing.
It says it will be “a 10,544 sq. ft. marine, retail sales and service building including a caretaker unit” along with 36 parking spaces. One of the comments on the Shilshole blog claims that the caretaker unit is for the owner, who met the permit requirements for shoreline property with a marine-related business. Talk about a terrific location (from Google Maps)…

I thought this was an overhaul of the old Azteca building, not a new structure.

John somebody, owner of Triad, a huge development company, is the owner I believe. It is basically a residence, masquerading, for permit reasons, as something else.
A monument to excess? You be the judge….

Wait what…its a terroist hideout, with a view and the proper permits? Can they work on my Mercruiser?

i’ll bet that the “caretaker unit”-warming party will be bort den krok.

My boyfriend was sure it was some sort of residence, but I said no way would you be able to get a permit. Neither of us could remember if there was a structure there before. I guess we were both correct.
