The sign above Epilogue Books says it all, “corner retail space for lease.”

We spoke with Nathan at Epilogue who says that they’re not renewing their lease at the corner of NW Market and 20th Ave NW, and they’re currently looking for another location, hopefully in Ballard. Another used book shop, Abraxus Books, recently left Ballard for lower Queen Anne. Epilogue is the third business to leave this intersection this year: All the King’s Flags closed in January and Ballard Camera is currently having their going-out-of-business sale. On a bright note, All the Best Pet Care did move in to the empty space on the southeast corner. (Thanks Laura for the tip! All the Best Pet Care is a My Ballard sponsor.)
