Kenmore Village Exodus Continues

As noted a few days ago over on Kenmore Blog.net, Kenmore’s branch of The Little Gym, currently located between the old Ostrom’s location and the Liquor Store in Kenmore Village, is leaving Kenmore for apparently greener pastures up in Lynnwood.

For those of you keeping score at home, the departure of The Little Gym in the next month or so will leave the commercial space (i.e. – not counting City Hall) in the city-owned Kenmore Village property over half empty, with five of nine storefronts vacant. By square footage, the commercial space will be just under half empty.

Businesses that have moved or gone out of business, leaving Kenmore Village in the last year or so include:

  • Ostrom’s Drugs – drugstore – moved to 6414 NE Bothell Way
  • The Little Gym – children’s gym – moving to Lynnwood
  • Hidden Treasures – thrift store – closed
  • Reign’s Realm – children’s clothing & supplies consignment store – closed
  • Taco Guyamas – fast food mexican restaurant – closed

Here’s a map of Kenmore Village in its current state (click to enlarge):

Eventually as I have the time, I will be expanding this map to include all of Kenmore’s business zones. Your input is welcome.
