.. And perhaps I shouldnt admit this but: the loss of the rendering plant and re-chroming facility were gentrifications I could live with at the time.

Used to drive from Ballard to Issaquah in 20 minutes.

In the worst sense of the word, this I, Anon is Taker-Entitlement. Open your own restaurant, build something for someone else. And after 10 or 20 or 30 years when you're tired and your kids are grown and someone gives you the chance to never work again in your life, think back on this time, when you were busy telling someone else that they shouldn't do it just so you could enjoy the false authenticity. And then take the money.

Bellevue is already considerably more diverse than anything in near north Seattle, as @18 points out.

@7 is correct but that's true of almost any place in any city. Turnover is high.

Nobody appears to have sold anything to anyone. It's a change of tenancy coincident to a) Costa aging to where he just wants the one restaurant in the U District, and b) nobody other than Chase stepping up to sign a lease with the owner.

Which I think points to the real concern - once an area is deemed "hip," the money follows as best it sees value in investing there. How best does a neighborhood like Fremont maintain that uncertain balance? It's unlikely to live forever on the laurels of cheap-cost/cheap-access businesses, but if the money chases away any possible new iterations of what makes the neighborhood beloved....
