"An anticipated restaurant project planned for the Avenue Bellevue development has been halted after famed chef Joshua Skenes decided he is no longer interested in opening there. The Puget Sound Business Journal reports that Skenes has become more interested in casual dining concepts, but his representative also cited unspecified issues with developer Andy Lakha, who sold the project last year; Lakha’s spokespeople denied there was any issue to the Journal." - Paolo Bicchieri
