Twin Teepees Site Under Development
Construction at the former site of Seattle’s iconic Twin Teepees restaurant at 7201 Aurora Avenue has begun. The 4-story mixed-used building will include office space and a 24-unit apartment complex called the Tyee at Greenlake.
The Twin Teepees was designed by Delland Harris and opened in 1931 across the street from Green Lake Park. A fire in 2000 brought an end to the restaurant which was subsequently razed in 2001.
Back in 1942, a young Colonel Harland Sanders managed the restaurant where legend says he perfected a recipe for fried chicken. Ten years later the colonel went on to start Kentucky Fried Chicken.
I have heard that the workers have not been paid for months. Do you think that quality will suffer for that. so many mistakes have been made there that they sould start over. Dexel Homes is the superintendent of construction.
Don’t know about that, but I drive by the site daily and I haven’t seen any recent activity going on.
