The decision to close the Ravenna store indicates that the management and board has lost PCC's raison d'etre. The worst part is that this was done by market survey. No one asked me if I wanted my store closed. To me, PCC was about building sustainable neighborhoods. Being able to walk to the local grocery store is important.
Neighborhoods are important.
A human scale is important. Automotive addiction has killed most American cities. North Seattle is still viable, but the board has decided that the future is with big box stores that accelerate suburban sprawl to places like Issaquah. Don't expect to see me at other PCC locations. The new Whole Foods store is within walking distance.
