Some thoughts on Lynnwood

I noticed that the House of Rock restaurant going into the old Celtic Bayou space changed names. What does that means for a business that hasn’t opened its doors yet?  Perhaps there’s some uncertainty about their vision. To me, I worry that they’re more focused on their name and signage than on getting the doors open and serving customers. Thus that this might end up vaporware.

Another building is under construction at the Lynnwood Crossing site. Watching the way they’re developing lends me to believe they already have tenants for the space. I’ve not seen any signage, so don’t know for certain. Looking forward to seeing what lands there.

The changes I’ve witnessed in this area are  amazing. Development along 196th and over by the mall remind me of the changes in downtown Bellevue in the 80s. Lynnwood had a rather unique environment, though, so it will grow into a rather different business community.
