Suddenly, there are two restaurant closures happening after this weekend in one block of the West Seattle Junction. Kizuki Ramen announced tonight that Sunday (October 25) will be its last day at 42nd SW and SW Alaska, after 10 years. After getting a tip (thank you!), we went over to verify; a staff member confirmed it and says corporate blamed it on slow business (though the restaurant was busy when we stopped in). Kizuki is part of an international chain, unlike the nearby restaurant also closing after this weekend, Portage Bay Café. This also makes three empty spaces in the block, as a new tenant does not appear to have surfaced yet for the Rudy’s Barbershop space that was vacated when its operations were consolidated into the Rudy’s on Fauntleroy Way. Jefferson Square across 42nd also has several longrunning vacancies.
