Kathy Casey, owner of Ballard's Dish D'Lish at 5130 Ballard Ave. N.W., announced she will be shuttering the Ballard location, one of three Dish D'Lish outlets, the other two being in Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

The building will be up for sale privately.

The Food Studio and Liquid Kitchen, which opened here in 2007, will relocate to smaller quarters in the Salmon Bay Marine Center.

Casey could not be reached for comment, but a spokesperson told the News-Tribune that an official release will go out to the public Monday, April 13, which will also go into more details about the move and Casey's future business focus.

Casey specializes in food and beverage concepts and product development for local, national and international clients and has published a number of books.

In 1996, Casey and her husband, John, purchased three adjoining buildings, The Theisen and Chopard blocks, along with the Owl Saloon on Ballard Avenue. The buildings date back to 1894.
