For a little while, Bill won't be right off Broadway on Capitol Hill. Instead, he'll be on Greenwood Ave, in Greenwood.

In an announcement made via the Capitol Hill Seattle blog, Bill's Off Broadway owner said that they will be relocating to Greenwood and rename the new incarnation Bill's On Greenwood.

"We will be opening at 8560 Greenwood Ave North. Our plan is to open on September 1. The menu will be essentially the same with a few additions but otherwise it will be Bill’s. Bill’s on Greenwood!!" the announcement, which was made in the comments section, reads.

Capitol Hill Seattle reports that Stevens expects the original Bill’s to close for about a 20-month hiatus at the end of July. Good news for Greenwoodians (What do Greenwood residents call themselves?), Stevens said he plans to operate both locations when the seven-story building and preservation project at Harvard and Pine is completed.

The story of Bill's is similar to another Capitol Hill institution, B&O Espresso, which moved to Ballard in February after being displaced by development. Like Bill's, they may move back to Capitol Hill, but the owner is unsure. Bauhaus Coffee and Books is also expected to move to Ballard in August.
