Ch-ch-ch-Changes Around Kenmore
Posted by the Kenmore Crow | Filed under Photo/Video
All kinds of changes happening around Kenmore in the past week or so…
The new unnecessary traffic signals at both ends of NE 181st St behind Safeway have been activated.
Grocery Outlet has moved, opening in their new location in Kenmore Square yesterday.
The new store looks great, and has much better visibility than their old location in Kenmore Village. They were smart to jump on this space as soon as it became available, considering the public statements from Urban Partners, the supposed eventual developer of Kenmore Village, that they basically aren’t welcome to stay in the fancy-schmancy new upscale downtown when it finally gets built (whenever that will be).
Speaking of Kenmore Village, the grand future downtown of Kenmore is looking more and more like a ghost town with each passing month. Here’s an update of our map.
Meanwhile, across the street, new foliage is being planted at the new “green” city hall:
It’s spring time in the city of Kenmore, I suppose.

I am excited over the changes happening in Kenmore. When I moved here in 2007, I knew this place was going to get better and better. Why are people negative about this change. It is going to happen, people. Give it time. Changes don’t happen overnight. Kenmore is PRIMED to be a great location: By the Lake, Burke Gilman running through, schools serviced by the top school district in the state. I am not blowing smoke, here. As a daughter of recently retired, prominent real estate developer and architect, who has had much exposure growing up seeing property development and improvements–I’m not blowing smoke here. I didn’t move here for nothing, folks. I don’t look at this place with a jaded eye. I look at this place, filled with promise and potential.
