Starbucks looking to add sidewalk café at new Market Street location
2012-02-09

Starbucks Coffee Company has submitted an application for a sidewalk café permit for its new corner location on 2200 NW Market Street.

Last month Starbucks announced they will move their current Market Street location one door down into the empty 5 Corner Market space, which will offer a lot more space and seating for customers than the current location.

The new location is expected to open in early June and until then, business will continue as usual at the current location.

Comments regarding the sidewalk café application will be accepted through February 24, 2012.

SDOT will make an application decision after the public comment period has closed.

Comments should be submitted via email to annualpermits@seattle.gov or by mail to:
