Driving to Madison Park the other day I went by the construction site for the new Trader Joe's in Seattle. At the corner of Madison Street and 17th Avenue, the new store will be part of 1700 Madison Building (Great View Apts?), a new apartment building (not sure if its condo or for rent) in its last stages of construction. One of the workers on the site told me they think the store will open late August. Let's see...
Trader Joe's Capitol Hill will be less than a block away from Madison Market and across from the gas station on 17th. I for one can't wait for this location to open since, at least for now, downtowners have had to drive to Queen Anne Hill or the U-District's Trader Joe's to get our TJ fix which in my case means, mostly, loading up on Fage Greek Yogurt. :-D
