Seattle’s Restaurant and Bar Closures, 2024 - Eater Seattle

"Thirty years after opening, the Wedgwood Ale House and Cafe has closed, owner Kip Caputo said on Facebook. Opened in 1992 by Rob Paulson, the neighborhood bar and restaurant was struggling financially when it was sold to Caputo, a longtime employee, in 2021. Caputo wrote that he was “hoping for an eleventh hour hail Mary change of situation, but I must come to the realization that the Alehouse is going to have to close at the end of the month, probably the 29th to be exact.” He is accepting donations for a severance fund for his employees, whom he describes as “family.”" - Meg van Huygen
