No word, yet, on how it all fits together but it appears the emergence of partner Steve Gonzales’ new project Alive and Well in upper Pike/Pine also heralded the end of his original street fashion creation, lower Pike’s Goods. The shop hasn’t posted any details on the closure beyond this closeout sale announcement:

Goods was started as a partnership in 2003 between Gonzales and a group of friends who who created one of the first local boutiques shaped around skateboard gear and fashion. In 2009, Goods partner Scott Downing helped bring in Stussy to share the block with Goods. We’ll follow up to see what we can learn about what is bringing the partnership between Gonzales, Downing, Heidi Nymark-Williams, Paul Williams and Nhong Truon to a close. The building is owned by Capitol Hill Housing and there appear to currently be no records on filing indicating any new business construction for the location. The Goods online commerce site shows a message indicating no inventory is currently available for Internet purchase.

In early January, we reported that Gonzales and Goods buyer George Otto were partnering with Marcus Lalario on the new Alive and Well skate fashion shop.

In the meantime, there is a sale running all weekend and the Goods Facebook page has become a tribute area for customers past and present to sing the shop’s praises and lament its passing:
