You made it possible!

Our fabulous new Winter Lights on Rainier would not be hanging without the help of:

• PCC Community Markets

They made substantial donations to get the fundraising started. Then the parade of local businesses that stepped up to make the vision of a brighter Main street has been incredible.

Development News… As the Alta Columbia City at the former post office site continues to take shape, there’s another new project being planned for the corner of Rainier and Angeline, current location of Pho Bo Restaurant. The property has recently changed hands, and the new owner/developer CP Rainier LLC has begun the permitting process for a new mixed-use building with four levels of residential units over commercial and amenity space. The developer’s current (early) thinking is to provide 72 residential units, 3 small commercial spaces, and underground parking for 80 vehicles. The project architect says they hope to have permits a year from now and be ready for occupancy in late 2022.

Easy Come – Easy Go… We previously noted the arrival of the Columbia City Psychic Shop at the former Big John’s Barber Shop between Vino Verite and the Columbia City Alehouse. Well, after renovating the interior and installing their signage, on the eve of opening, the business owners broke their lease and disappeared. Building owner Tracy Wynn, John’s daughter, breathed a sigh of relief and has put the space back up for lease.
