At the end of the month, Carnegie’s Restaurant in the old brick Carnegie Library building at 2026 NW Market St. will be closing.
We were first tipped off by an email with this Craigslist posting, which advertises an “Elegant Restaurant Space.” The ad says:
Restaurant space available in Carnegie brick building in heart of downtown Ballard. Two fireplaces, outside garden seating. Wine cellar.
The rent for the 3,000 square foot space is $6,500/month.
We spoke with the owner of the building, Karoline Morrison, who confirms the restaurant is closing the end of January and she’s currently looking for another tenant.
We have tried unsuccessfully to get in contact with Carnegie’s chef/owner Jerry Brahm, who has been at this location since 2003.
