Looks like the Elliott Bay Book Company sign is making the move up to Capitol Hill, too. Their last day of business in their Pioneer Square location is this Wednesday, March 31st. They're planning on opening up the new location on April 12th.

When it's a nationally recognized bookstore moving in a block away from where the weekly newspaper that runs this blog is located, then yeah, that qualifies.

And welcome back Mr. Poe - how long do you think you'll stick around THIS TIME? :)

So much for SoDo revitialization.

EB is exactly the kind of store that would have profited had it ever happened.
