PCC's new store at Green Lake to open June 4

Just before noon we heard from PCC that its long-anticipated new Green Lake store – which will be the closest PCC to Maple Leaf – will open June 4.

It will be just down Fifth Avenue Northeast at the location of the old Vitamilk Dairy, which closed a decade ago after 60 years at Green Lake.

It’s a bit behind schedule. The store was originally expected to open in 2013.

The new PCC will be part of the Green Lake Village mixed-use development between Northeast 72nd and 71st streets along Woodlawn and Fifth avenues northeast.

The existing Greenlake PCC, on Aurora Avenue North, will remain.

Long-time residents will remember when the PCC at Greenlake was a block west of the south end of the lake, just off Northeast 65th Street.

  1. @Mark. This new large store is not a set of family owned stores. You can mince words if you want to though.

  2. I got a kick out of the “Apartment Homes” designation for the units @ Green Lake Village. Kinda like calling a used car “pre-owned”. Just my little bit of attitude. That complex will likely do very well and yes, it continuously amazes me how much do re me is in this town. Composites are the future! As for Pcc I go back to the old days too and PCC is *very* expensive overall but if you want fresh, high quality produce and bulk items, they are a good choice. Safeway is great for toiletries and dry, frozen goods IMHO but I can’t believe they get away with such crappy produce at the 15th NE store! I’ve heard the 75th store is better.

  3. O.V. – The intent wasn’t to be nasty, just direct. I don’t understand the hostility (trendy & a status symbol)? Stores and markets like PCC are forcing Safeway and the other conglomerates (i.e. corporations) to carry more organic produce; 5-10 years ago, you couldn’t get anything organic at the Roosevelt Safeway. Kudos to you for supporting PCC when they were just two markets in all of Western Washington. PCC is making an investment in the community (filling a vacant lot). Rick, please remember they are a co-op, not a corporation; there’s a big difference businesses operations. Discourse over the issues is great; mud slinging is the equivalent of trolling.

  4. If we cared so much about our local schools we would be outraged by the amount of money that Seattle schools wastes on frivolous projects and other stuff.

    We would also be outraged that Seattle public library stifles King County Library for the sake of simply having a Seattle public library when we don’t need a Seattle public library because we have a much larger and much more valuable King County Public Library.

    Another grocery store along the means of A Hole foods is not that great of a supporting entity for the Green Lake area. We can buy the same stuff cheaper and a lot places that already exist. The only thing that will be greater is the amount of traffic in the area for one store that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the community in the area. Small business or better yet businesses would fit a lot better than one large corporate store.

  5. Like I said, I gave PCC tens if thousands of dollars. Now I prefer to support Safeway which has been part of the neighborhood for much longer and also gives back. Just because I feel this way does not mean you have to get all nasty. I have right to my view just as you do. And, I supported PCC generously for many many years when it was not trendy or a status symbol.

  6. WOW O.V. Not exactly a warm welcome. I for one am grateful for the business development, as that site sat empty for quite a few years. Regardless of where you choose to shop, the additional options will help consumers. Did you know that any profits from the stores go back into the stores, or into the community (i.e. charitable donations)? Thanks for coming to the neighborhood PCC!

  7. I shopped at PCC for decades but now shop at Safeway for the same items I used to buy at PCC but for only half the cost. Grocery stores now stock organic, healthy vegetarian food. PCC has less fresh produce and silly attitude.
