Developers left us with unwanted open space

Dear Editor,

Last year there was much conversation and controversy regarding the Denny’s Restaurant as the corner of 15th and Market. It was described as an outmoded, crummy, architecturally faulty building that would be replaced with a nice, new six-story mixed-use building that would serve as a beautiful “gateway” to Ballard.

The developers did tear the old Denny’s down in a matter of a couple days.

For the past several months, we’ve seen nothing but an old concrete foundation, piles of rubbish, garbage and many weeds, surrounded by a decrepit-looking fence.

How long will it be before we get to see this magnificent new structure? We certainly don’t need the “open space” we have there now.
