#2,525 - Another DT Seattle Starbucks closes due to Union and Crime

The downtown Seattle Starbucks location at Fifth Avenue and Pike Street is in its last week. A note on the door from the District Manager and Store Manager said the permanent closure would happen on Sept. 30, but a reason was not given. "We would like to thank you for being part of our store community. It has been a great pleasure to connect with you every day,” the notice said. More than a month ago, the company closed its popular First Avenue and Pike Street locations. A company spokesperson said the store will re-open again, but the timeline is vague, as is the reason for the closure. The now vacant site is at First Avenue and Pike Street, just across from the Pike Place Market, where cruise ship passengers swarm the streets.
