Concluding a 20-year history on Capitol Hill, The Color Store is rolling off the hill to its new home in the Sodo Area. The familiar color pallet fronted building has been sold, and will be removed along with the rest of the Union Madison Triangle.
According to Jeff Parks, the assistant manager of The Color Store, the owners sold the building earlier this year to the developers of the 1111 E. Union project. The new property was purchased 6 months ago and is being built near Airport Way & S Holgate St, which, ironically, is close to the new location of Capitol Hill’s BMW, which moved to Sodo in September looking for more space.
Parks was unsure when exactly the store would close doors, but said the owners had a target date during the after-christmas downtime in late december. “When the building’s built, we move.”
The owners of the building were not available for comment.
“…which, ironically, is close to the new location of Capitol Hill’s BMW…”
i’d say that’s coincidental, not ironic. :)
