It is sad to see historic places ripped down, but don't worry, some items are stripped out and saved! Here is where a lot of useful vintage house parts now rest. They have a good selection of cool lamps, antique fixtures, doors, windows, cabinets, cool glass, dressers-- you name it. I always get inspired with lots of fun ideas when I come here. We went in this time looking for a 'pocket' door, the old kind that slides into the wall.. We were really having a hard time finding one online. Not only did we find one here, they have a whole section labeled "pocket doors" and we found just what we wanted- a 'real wood' door (not the plastic-wood-material-door-thing they sell at Lowes nowadays.) So now we have a door that needs a lil cleaning but was only $35 bucks. The wood alone is likely worth that. They work hard saving the vintage items from otherwise demolition death and seem to price it affordable enough so it can be 'loved' again. Pros: -Organized bins and labeled piles. -Helpful and knowledgeable staff. -Free parking. Cons: -It's like a warehouse shop so everything is covered in thick 'antique dust.' (but, it is kinda fun to clean off your own glowing treasure for the cost you pay. ;) Reuse, recycle baby!

This is a review i wrote about Franks.

I had to take a sander to one of the doors to get it fit perfect but that is a small price to pay to get matched french doors. I had gone to Seattle Door House over the weekend since Franks was closed and the salesperson there was so rude and standoffish saying they wont touch a french door and that no one else would either. Well, not only did Franks make the doors, they didn't give me a hard time about it either. Clearly they have done this thousands of times. Will come back for my future door needs. final kicker, Seattle door house want over $800 for the pair before finding out they were french doors, while franks did it for under $600. stay away from seattle door house.

A century-old Seattle barrel company has been indicted along with its third-generation owner in…read morewhat prosecutors describe as a long-running pollution conspiracy. The 36-count indictment made public Wednesday said Seattle Barrel and Cooperage used a hidden drain to pump caustic wastewater directly into the King County sewer system. Seattle Barrel refurbishes used industrial and commercial barrels and drums. Part of that process involves washing the barrels in a corrosive solution. In a written statement provided by its attorney, Harold Malkin, Seattle Barrel blamed a former employee who was fired nine months ago. The company said it did not encourage or permit that worker's actions and that it will contest any criminal liability for them. The former employee has not been charged. The indictment names Seattle Barrel owner Louie Sanft, whose grandfather founded the company in 1916. It also names its plant manager, John Sanft, who is Louie Sanft's cousin. They are due to appear in court Jan. 9. The charges they face include conspiracy, which carries up to five years in prison; lying to Environmental Protection Agency investigators, which carries up to five years; and violating the Clean Water Act, which carries up to three years per count. "At a time when we are searching for strategies to protect Puget Sound and improve water quality for fish and wildlife, we need companies to do their share -- not scheme for ways to pollute in private," Seattle U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran said in a news release. Federal prosecutors said dumping caustic, high-pH solutions into the sewer system can corrode it and the treatment plant and that the waste can wind up in Puget Sound, home to protected salmon, orcas and other species. Since at least 2009, the company's permit from King County has prohibited such discharges. In 2012, an employee from the King County Industrial Waste Program reported seeing John Sanft dump oily waste. Over the next several months, the program conducted secret monitoring and discovered that Seattle Barrel was repeatedly dumping high-pH wastewater into the sewer. The county fined the company $55,000, an amount that was reduced to about $17,000 when the company agreed to install an expensive wastewater treatment system. Louie Sanft claimed that the system made Seattle Barrel a "zero discharge" company. That treatment system was not designed or used to handle waste from the 300-gallon (1,136-liter) tank where barrels are washed, however. The tank was supposed to be cleaned by evaporating the water from it, wiping out the remaining residue, sealing the residue in drums and then shipping it to another company for disposal. Prosecutors said the company lied about doing that. Instead, the indictment said, Louie Sanft directed employees to pump the wastewater down an a hidden drain that led to the sewer. An inspection in 2017 revealed irregularities in the company's handling of wastewater, and covert monitoring showed that the company continued to dump it down the sewer in 2018 and 2019, the indictment said. Meanwhile, Seattle Barrel filed reports with the county certifying that it had not dumped any wastewater. The indictment says Louie Sanft directed the conduct, advising employees to look out for regulators, and that John Sanft sometimes helped. Louie Sanft's attorney, Angelo Calfo, denied that. He said his client knew King County monitored the sewer line, so it would make no sense for him to direct an employee to dump the tank water there. Further, Calfo said, Louie Sanft paid the employee overtime to properly handle the wastewater because it was a daylong process to evaporate all the water. The only person who stood to benefit from using the sewer was the employee who got fired, the attorney said.

Normally I'd expect to need to drive 40 minutes or have to go someplace specialized like Limback in Ballard to get access to half of what Alki carries. Disclaimer for the folks that aren't professionals or have never been to a lumber yard though: 1. This place's bread and butter is professionals running thousands minimum through them and from what I've seen they do pretty brisk business for our local tradespeople. They don't always have time to hand hold for small needs, but if you're patient, they're happy to help. 2. If you usually shop at big box stores you might get sticker shock as places like this should typically have much higher quality materials (such as consistently straight, dry 2x4s you don't have to pick through) but with that comes higher pricing. If you're primarily price driven this probably isn't the place for you, no shade if that's the case!
