"PCC Community Markets, the high-end food co-op with 14 Puget Sound stores, announced plans to open in the Central District location on 23rd Ave and Union Street that was recently vacated by the never-finished New Seasons Market; the press release emphasizes efforts “to ensure that the square footage could benefit the community,” notes a yet-to-be-named food and beverage tenant will occupy part of the space, claims the new store will bring 100 union jobs, and aims to open in the first half of 2020, though the situation remains complicated amid earlier community pushback about gentrification." - Gabe Guarente
