I am a neighbor to the property and and don't like the raping of Ballard any more than any other life long Ballardite Ballardite. I also have to say that Archie McPhees has been a horrible neighbor. They never have cared for the neighborhood or its residents. They have contributed to the congestion, traffic and greed as much as any of the so called Condo Overlords. They may provide a service and a product, but do not seem willing to repay the community in any way. I say good riddance as do most of the neighbors within walking distance.

They HAVE TO SELL the property, because they are being taxed on the highest USE of the property...drum roll....you got it, CONDOS. They do NOT want to sell their businesses. They are in fact 4th and 5th generation Ballardites who are being forced to sell their family business and all the property that their dad built up, because of the IRS and the Belltownization of Ballard. <br><br>Mr. Jacobsen started out as a paper boy with a paper stand on Ballard Avenue in the 1930s, and his grandfather had a boathouse on Shilshole. These people are being  forced by the IRS to sell their property. They don\'t want to. They are Old Ballard; they have no choice. <br><br>The Spirit gas station is owned by a local Swedish organization, which has owned it for about 80 years. Interestingly enough, the first building on that location was the first real schoolhouse in Ballard. So, it is not part of the deal. <br><br>If you want to blame someone, blame the rapacous developers who are turning the neighborhood into canyons of condos.</div>\

Personally, it still feels wrong to me to go to Ballard when I need a fez or a new Hindu goddess lunchbox.  I don\'t really think the location matters that much.  I also don\'t think that high desnity urban housing matters one bit when it\'s prohibitively expensive.  Does Seattle really need more $200-300,000 condos?</div>\

They are in business to make a profit. Jacobsens not renewing their annual lease is a smart business move as was their offer for a month to month lease which Archie McPhee\'s turned down. The property will not sit empty and it will not be town homes. It will be a six story mixed use building with at least 100 condos and 20 business tenants. I am a neighbor to the property and and don\'t like the raping of Ballard any more than any other life long Ballardite Ballardite. I also have to say that Archie McPhees has been a horrible neighbor. They never have cared for the neighborhood or its residents. They have contributed to the congestion, traffic and greed as much as any of the so called Condo Overlords. They may provide a service and a product, but do not seem willing to repay the community in any way. I say good riddance as do most of the neighbors within walking distance. I wish the Jacobsen family well and continued success wherever they land and thank them for their many years of community support. Progress happens, growth happens. Management of growth and progress is where most governments make mistakes. Get over it!</div>\
