. Full title: After the City’s Oldest Grocery Store Closes, Customers Look Elsewhere for Food and Community

Excerpt: Phillips and Sines became the tenth owners to operate a store in the space under the Carleton Avenue Grocery name since 1911, shortly after Georgetown was the last small town to be annexed into the city of Seattle. Built in 1904, the building served as the Country Inn Roadhouse saloon and brothel for a few years prior to becoming a market.
