I just wanted to announce that Pioneer Square Video will be moving three blocks north to the Coleman building (right between Fado and the Contour). We plan on closing for one day on Thursday April 2nd and we will be back open for business in the new location Friday April 3rd. All rentals will be extended for one day during the down time. 
Found this over on the Seattle times blog "Basically, we're looking at closing this month," he said. "I've danced with a buyer for five months. Then in October the `Great American Dream' fell through." To buy a restaurant, "You either have to have cash, and/or the seller needs to carry an enormous contract."

She planned to renew her lease for five more years when it came up in March. But she found herself having to fold instead. She notified her artists—about a dozen—today.
