Voodoo Doughnut is finally planning to come to Seattle at the base of Capitol Hill.

Plans filed last week show details of a new Capitol Hill shop in the Booker Building at the corner of Pine and Minor next to the Melrose Market.

The space is currently home to Lan Hand-Pulled Noodles and Pho 4 U and has been home to a recent churn of food and drink efforts.

It will neighbor Pine-born burger chain Li’l Woody’s which is celebrating its own expansion to Japan, and Capitol Hill classic Italian restaurant Machiavelli — also planning its own expansion to Edmonds.

The Puget Sound Business Journal was the first to report on the Voodoo expansion Tuesday as it noted the new shop will be the second planned in the state.

The company has not yet confirmed its plans. UPDATE: “We’re thrilled to finally bring some Voodoo Magic to Seattle,” CEO Chris Schultz said in an announcement from the company. “It’s been many years in the making and the Capitol Hill neighborhood is the perfect site for our first store,”

A Voodoo store coming to the neighborhood has been rumored for years.

Before any opening, there is work to do to prepare the circa 1912 building’s interior for its new life. There is also the doughnut box-pink Voodoo paint job to consider. The Voodoo announcement did not include a planned opening date but said there will be “months” of preparations before the new store opens. Continue reading →

Thursday’s big response in Montlake

  • ‘Help the officer’ mistake in Montlake: A mistaken “help the officer” dispatch brought a flood of Seattle Police officers to Montlake Blvd E at NE Pacific St early Thursday. According to SPD radio updates, police were called to help after a Washington State trooper was reported in a struggle with a suspect in the area around 2 AM. The “help the officer” protocol allows police to respond at high speeds when a member of law enforcement is reported threatened or in an altercation. Arriving units quickly located and stopped the described suspect but could not locate any trooper. SPD tells CHS the suspect was possibly in crisis and had been involved in an altercation and attempted to spit on a victim but the “help the officer” call was in error and no law enforcement was involved in the initial report. There were no reported injuries. The suspect was arrested to be booked for the assault.
  • Biltmore fire: Seattle Fire was called to The Biltmore apartments on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning but fortunately the blaze turned out to be small and did no major damage. According to SFD radio reports, the fire was reported just after 6 AM at the E Loretta Place building. Arriving units were done at the scene quickly, however, when it was discovered the incident was a “food on stove” fire and limited to a small kitchen fire. There were no reported injuries.
  • First Hill apartment standoff: A police standoff dragged out after a First Hill apartment dweller who left his unit to pick up a dinner delivery found a man had entered his residence and barricaded himself inside. According to SPD’s brief on the Saturday night incident and radio reports, the victim said he returned to his Spring St. apartment around 7:30 PM to find a stranger carrying a guitar had made himself at home and locked the resident out: Continue reading →
