New burger restaurant coming to ‘The Terminal’ across from New Seasons

LOL, I have to laugh at California Uber Alles because…he’s not wrong.

I like the retro idea of strip mall retail surrounded by parking lots. It’s like Amazon never happened and everyone has a parking spot at their Apodment to park a personal car, which they can then use to sit in traffic for 45 min to drive a couple blocks past five burger spots and four grocery stores so they can shop at a grocery store and buy a hamburger. They will then enjoy eating their hamburger in a parking spot magically converted to a “park” through the addition of tables and chairs.

I guess they got one thing right in their bizarre fantasy world in that if people actually did drive past grocery stores and hamburger joints to buy groceries and hamburgers they will likely be driving an Audi, which appears to be the only acceptable brand of vehicle.

To all of you nattering nabobs: vote with your feet, do NOT go to these places. See how easy it really can be! And doesn’t anybody freaking cook these days? Want Ethiopian food? Cook some. Or doers it fit your version of racism because there aren’t enough Ethiopian eateries? Do you think these folks just sit on their asses and don’t go find good Ethiopian food? Too funny. We could raise a lot of $$ here for kids, with a bitch-a-thon. Oh yes, almost forgot: Audi’s are THE problem in today’s Ballard, and not Mike O’Brien et al.

I have to admit as a 30 year Ballard resident, it does seem we should be beyond this by now.
So many impermeable surfaces, with the expectation that one will drive from New Seasons. How about more green so folks can walk and make it a walking/biking destination, with BG access, not a quick drive in and out. How about a walkway to the near by water to walk to for a viewing…
Create the world you want to live in

Agreed PJJENSON. Ballard is taking almost every chance to make itself more unlivable and less walkable. I do notice that the Ballard Market is now carrying teff flour though for your injera so that is one serious civic problem solved.

Seattle in general is ruthless about allowing individuals to illegally occupy waterfront access. When I moved here several decades ago I thought that must be what they mean by the much vaunted “Seattle tolerance”. No regulations, no coastal commission. In Sydney Australia you can walk for miles along the ocean front. And the fancy coastal houses are back behind the pedestrian promenade. Not so Seattle – beauty and livability before the self enriching needs of developers? Never!

Good call! It DOES look like “a strip in Orange County”. All they need is a Botox clinic.

OMG – A CHAIN! Hide little Branston and Dalton from the chains!! They’re worse than peanut butter allergy instant death!!!

Remember Seattle slugs. Dick’s isn’t a chain. Pagliacci isn’t a chain. Metropolitan Markets isn’t a chain. Anything Tom Douglas isn’t a chain. Only businesses from outside your grandpa’s mossback cloistered and limited perception is a CHAIN!

What if you don’t own an Audi?
