If developers get approval, the old Fred Meyer and Greenwood Market at
NW 3rd & 85th will be torn down and replaced with a new development.

The plans include demolishing the current Fred Meyer and the Greenwood Market and redevelop the property with a new, larger Fred Meyer and 200-300 apartments. The site would also include “additional retail space to be occupied by small, boutique retailers and restaurants. Plans also include a public plaza for community gatherings and events,” a Fred Meyer spokesperson has said.

The Design Review Board will be holding an early design review meeting on July 13th, 6:30 p.m. at Ballard High School. The public will be allowed to give their opinions on the plans. Our sister site, PhinneyWood, has covered the new development extensively and the response has been strong on both for and against it. Fred Meyer will be holding its own meeting on July 9th to get input from the community. That meeting will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Phinney Neighborhood Association, in the brick building’s Community Hall.
