No More Goldfish Tavern?
According to Scott Fontaine at the TNT, The Goldfish Tavern, next to Point Defiance and representing 75 years of old fashioned Tacoma bar goodness, is closing. Ahhh the memories. While Scott mentions condos… I think somebody out there wants to buy a bar with a great location across the street from a gorgeous urban park… to keep it a bar. Anyone? Or maybe you’d prefer your park view condo.

I think this property has been slated for redevelopment for some time now. Wasn’t there an article on it last year?

The property is zoned R-2 so no condos without a rezone.

This is off the subject of the Goldfish, but since we’re in the area, does anyone know what’s slated to happen to the old Defiance Hardware (Defiance Woodcarving) building? I was heartbroken to see it boarded up and the neighboring houses torn down a couple months ago, but every time I drive by, it’s still there. Any hope that they’ll leave it be?

… and no rezoning without a lively Ruston City Council meeting.

Nice catch Matt.
A small detail: its in the City of Ruston!

Are you still confident with your zoning analysis Jake?

It is in Tacoma.

Jake is correct.
West side or Pearl St is Tacoma and the east side is Ruston.
