by Elizabeth Turnbull
After a concerted effort to amass the constructing and to stave off any potential displacement of households, the Brighton Growth Group (BDG) is within the course of of buying The Arches Flats constructing in South Seattle.
Regardless of increased provides from different bidders, BDG now has the acquisition of the constructing underneath contract after they promised to maintain the entire households who’re at present residing there in place and never increase rents, in response to Curtis Brown, who has been advocating for the acquisition and is the chief director of SouthEast Seattle Senior Basis.
The flats constructing, which is at 6601 Rainier Ave. S., was owned by Barbara Chamberlain who valued the constructing as an area for households to remain and stored the lease reasonably priced for residents.
“It is a group,” mentioned Steve Barton, supervisor of The Arches. “Everyone is aware of all people; they’re fairly tolerant of all people.”
That sense of group stems from Chamberlain’s take care of the constructing and its tenants, mentioned Barton, who the Chamberlains requested to handle the advanced in 2013. The longest-running tenant has been there 42 years, he mentioned, and, no less than a 3rd of the advanced’s 25 households have been there greater than 10 years. Add all of them up and it’s a cumulative 209 years of occupancy, not counting a handful of households who’ve been there a yr or much less.
Totally different ethnic teams, ages starting from youngsters to seniors, and multigenerational households make up The Arches. The truth is, Chamberlain and her husband, Norm, who handed away in 2015, raised their household at The Arches, residing there for 17 years, Barton mentioned.
Since her passing three months in the past, the constructing had been put up on the market, which raised considerations about what would occur to the residents at present residing there, and if it might stay an reasonably priced area — doubtlessly including to gentrification in South Seattle.
After a dialogue with Chamberlain’s household, BDG is now within the strategy of securing the acquisition of the constructing. The group is counting on funding from numerous streams to make the acquisition a actuality. So far, the Rainier Valley Group Growth Fund (RVCDF) has expressed a robust curiosity in offering a $1 million mortgage and the group is anticipating securing $3 million from a financial institution mortgage in addition to $2.4 million in donations.
Brown has spent the final 30 years addressing displacement points by way of his work, and studying that BDG would get the possibility to buy The Arches Flats was a singular win that introduced up many feelings.
“I can let you know that I’ve misplaced about 95% of my battles,” Brown mentioned. “So to lastly win one … I can’t clarify the emotion. It’s only a actual sense of accomplishment of a group standing up collectively.”
After Brown visited the constructing on Thursday, April 14, he mentioned that some residents had been involved that with a brand new proprietor, the constructing rents would go up. Due to the best way the constructing might be funded, he emphasised that rents will stay the identical and that residents shouldn’t be involved.
In the beginning, Brown emphasised how the group and native teams are able to combating for housing and in opposition to displacement. For this very cause, teams together with RVCDF have been drawn to contribute to The Arches Flats constructing buy.
“When one thing will get bought, the rents get, you already know, approach jacked up,” mentioned Sanjiv Doreswamy, the chief director of RVCDF. “And in order that’s not going to occur on this case.”
Chamberlain “can be completely thrilled … That is excellent,” mentioned Barton. “She beloved this constructing … I’m certain that is precisely what she would need with none query.”

TikTok food critic Keith Lee, who taste tests dishes from family-run restaurants around the country while sitting in his car, stunned his nearly 17 million followers in the last week with a video from Seattle that his followers alleged included him unknowingly eating a piece of sushi with a “worm” in it from Fob Sushi Bar in Seattle. The restaurant was his first and highest-rated stop in the city until all hell broke loose on the internet.
Lee did eat several other places while he was in town, however. Here’s where and what he thought of them.
King’s Barbeque House
518 6th Avenue S, Seattle
The ducks hanging in this window of this Chinatown spot caught the attention of Lee and his family, so they stopped to buy one and filmed the process of its preparation for takeout — including the head. “I’m not going to eat this, I just thought it was interesting,” Lee says. Cool, cool, cool.
He proclaimed it seasoned to perfection, said it tasted like a duck but not gamey or exotic, and just seasoned meat — which… seems normal? Loved the rice and proclaimed the skin the home of all the flavor. Ultimately, he gave it a 9.5 out of 10 and said he likes Seattle.
Pike Place Market
This stand outside Pike Place, where shoppers buy a cup or try as many different drinks as they like, caught Lee’s eye on a rainy day. His first sip was of the buttered rum cider, which he judged to be “real sour” and “real good.” That and lavender cider got 7s, and his highest rating went to the cinnamon spice cider at an 8. Lee bought everyone else waiting in line cider and attempted to leave one of his trademark large tips for the staff but noted on the video in a caption, “[T]ipping isn’t a thing in Seattle so it took some time to explain what we were doing.” In the end, Lee purchased 60 large cups and asked the vendors to keep anything left over from people who wanted a smaller size.
3114 NE 125th Street, Seattle
A fan of this restaurant emailed Lee to ask him to visit, saying it struggled during COVID and was still trying to get back on its feet. His family purchased doro wat, beef tibs, oatena, injera, and samboosa. Lee found the presentation of the beef tibs in a to-go container lacking because the grease was leaking, and although the beef was tough, the flavor was “deep” and “spicy.” Several family members rated it and opinions were varied. The samboosa was not to his liking, with too many lentils, and was “very mushy.” Its rating was a 1. He compares the doro wat to barbecue or braised chicken (it is stewed and covered in spices, so… yes) and gives it a 7.9. Why not an 8? The world will never know.
Lee and his family left the restaurant with $1,000 to pay for anyone who came in to eat after them, which is admittedly very cool.
A Seattle teriyaki chicken taste-test
Various locations
Lee decided to get teriyaki chicken from several places and taste-test them against each other. What could go wrong?
Chickens from the top five most recommended places, including Toshio’s Teriyaki, Rainier Teriyaki, Nikko Teriyaki, Toshi’s Teriyaki in Bellevue, and Ichi Bento. Spoiler alert: Ichi Bento and Toshi’s tied, but Ichi would have won if they had rinsed the rice so it was less starchy, per Lee.
504 5th Avenue South, Suite 107A, Seattle
The Filipino food at Hood Famous received raves, though Lee seemed to struggle to accurately describe the dishes. He ordered multiple dishes, from savory mains to desserts. In describing them, the word ube was used a lot, and although it was an ingredient in some of the dishes, he meant umami a few times. But honestly, who knows?
