The end of an era; Phoenecia Restaurant on Alki to close

One of West Seattle's most well known, and celebrated restaurants, The Phoenecia on Alki is set to close Dec. 24. The Khazaal family said in an open letter to the community that they would like to find another West Seattle location, preferably near the Junction but for now, developers have said their home for the past 25 years must be vacated. They shared their feelings and some special deals as part of their departure in a letter to the community below.

Dear West Seattle Community,

After 25 amazing years on Alki, the Phoenecia family is deeply sad to announce that we must soon close our doors. Our landlords have decided to sell the building to developers, due to some very expensive but necessary building upgrades.

Rather than dwell on sadness, we have chosen to revel in gratitude for the last 25 years of support from our many friends in West Seattle and beyond.

Because it is not over yet…
