That place looks way too fancy. I went and did a Google street view of the area and it looks like they razed everything and replaced it with tall mixed use buildings. This place was not more than a block off Denny; memory is fuzzy but I think we were holed up in the Best Western. hard to say as all the building are different. The bar that got raided was not more than 20,000 feet, was a bit run down on the outside and did not have a lot of signage on the building indicating it was a business. The only reason we knew this place served food is that we saw the "A rating" Health inspector sign on the door from the parking garage of the hotel.

I'm 90% certain it was on Denny. We walked by that park every night and talked to the drunks and weird kids as we walked from the site to the hotel, so it is possible the place was on Thomas. Then again there is a ton of Amazon offices and a fucking Whole Foods in that area near the park now that was not there when I was working, so who knows.

In other news, holy shit has Seattle changed in the 17ish years since I was last there.
