As downtown dwellers these past 18 years, we’ve seen the incredible growth and change in our own neighborhood (dubbed the West Edge) and Belltown. Part of the “progress” of new building construction has led to the destruction of the old Mom-and-Pop corner stores we had grown to know and love. Now, with the opening of Kress IGA Supermarket at Third and Pike, we don’t have to get in our cars to purchase a box of high-efficiency laundry detergent or even something as simple as a rotisserie chicken. The new full-size market feels like one you’d discover in New York City, from its dramatic underground location (with entry down a lengthy escalator) to the bright displays of produce that greet you, the antipasti bar, cheese display, and all sorts of prepared and frozen foods. As much as we love the Market (and you know we do!), it’s comforting to know you can now pick up a quart of milk any day of the week from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m.
