Two new tenants are moving into the former Ballard Food Bank location on 24th Ave NW.
Kirk Holmes, the owner of Seattle’s Train Center, will be moving into the southern space and he tells us a preschool will be moving into the northern space. Holmes has been in the model train business since 1993 when he and his wife opened in Magnolia. They’re currently in Interbay, but looking forward to being in the neighborhood setting. Since signing the lease and doing work on the new space, he said he’s seen quite a few families walking around – something he doesn’t get in Interbay.
Once up and running, Holmes will have model trains circling the shop and displays in the windows. He plans to open the middle of May.
