Elliott Bay Book Co. moving to Capitol Hill

[randy_byers]

I'm guessing that most locals will have heard this news already, but there may be a few out-of-towners who would be interested: Elliott Bay Book Co. moving to Capitol Hill. The new location is between Pike and Pine on 10th, just a block off Broadway. The interesting tidbit in this story is that they didn't move because of rent, but because of a fall-off in business, which they attribute to their location. With Bailey-Coy just going out of business on Capitol Hill, I wonder whether this move will really help on that front.

It's just around the corner from the Century Ballroom (and thus the fannish angle, the Century being the site of Jack and Anita's wedding).

Bailey/Coy was on Broadway, as you know, Bob. The new location on 10th is considered to be part of the Pike/Pine amalgamation, which is thought to be on the way up.

I guess the question is whether location is the problem or whether the internet is the problem. I guess we'll find out. Unless yet a third thing is the problem. Or there is no problem, and sha na na na bop shoo-wop shoo-wop.
