From the whitewashed exterior of the old building, to the neon signage, to the iced beds of seafood, (they've got more of everything than Safeway, QFC, or Costco - and it is all super-fresh), to the "down-home" small-town friendly service - this place looks and feels like you've stepped into a time-warp: it has not changed in decades. Regrettably, you can just about predict that the City of Seattle will tax the hell out of the property owners, they will be forced to tear down everything as a sacrifice to the God of gentrification, and this wonderful family business will be no more. Until then, buy your fish and seafood there to try and stave off seeing another cookie-cutter condominium highrise with a bank and a Starbucks on the first floor.
