I don't know about "never" -- but a bullet was dodged at least for now! We were there tonight, and they had a help-wanted sign posted, so I figured it wouldn't be "soon" -- and came to see if there was news. This is the best news I never expected!<br />Lecie Francoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395127892456150221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-56533892955955838982023-01-31T08:18:37.051-08:002023-01-31T08:18:37.051-08:00Never, financing didn’t go through Never, financing didn’t go through Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-88734908374222138632023-01-13T16:50:53.083-08:002023-01-13T16:50:53.083-08:00Is there any current timeline when Leena's wil...Is there any current timeline when Leena's will be closing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-8921643743622472372022-12-08T17:14:33.401-08:002022-12-08T17:14:33.401-08:00It's sad.

At least Jay's is still around, and Jersey's was able to move to a better location farther south. Really not impressed with most of what's gone into lower retail spaces without anything close to adequate parking.

And as is the norm now, there are only 215 parking spots for 228 units, which means more people parking where ever they can in the area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-88693304047514380162022-11-01T13:39:04.083-07:002022-11-01T13:39:04.083-07:00The letter to the editor unfortunately left out th...The letter to the editor unfortunately left out the critical information that the proposed new building is a mixed-use building that includes 3,800 SF of retail, plus additional parking. I have no idea if Leena's will make up the new retail place, but the retail component is not completely lost, as the letter implies. <br /><br />You can read more at the City's planning website: https://www.shorelinewa.gov/government/departments/planning-community-development/land-use-action-and-planning-noticesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-79450705427680756002022-10-31T10:42:10.696-07:002022-10-31T10:42:10.696-07:00I have such wonderful memories of my husband (who ...I have such wonderful memories of my husband (who passed almost 18 years ago) of many Saturday breakfasts.

Perhaps they should consider concessions to retailers to fill up the street level of these buildings. They could subsidize the infrastructure needed for cafes or restaurants or offer a first year tax break. Get creative and replace what we are losing.

Leenas is one of the few left sit down restaurants around Shoreline, to share a meal and meet friends. Very much hope Leenas will relocate and not just fade away.
