Purple Cow


This building is known to old timers like me as the Purple Cow. It once housed an antique shop that had a life-size purple cow figure out front. The cow was stolen by vandals before the shop closed. The building was transformed into classy office space with a killer view several years ago, but the name still persists for some of us.

The building is available for rent or purchase these days. The Edward Jones building to the east is part of the same lot and would be included in any sale. The floors have been redone since the last tenant left. The lot was for sale for several months, now it's for rent. But the representative for the owner (a bank in Germany) said they are willing to entertain purchase offers.

If you know anyone interested, you can contact Louie Gabini at (206) 372-0725 or louiegabini@gmail.com. Maybe we can help generate some forward momentum in our very local economy! And maybe a few more years with a new business at this location I can stop calling it the Purple Cow. ~ Karen
