Salt & Straw eyes Seattle's closed Pike Place Starbucks location
Salt & Straw could open a new location at the former Seattle Starbucks on 1st and Pike, right across from Pike Place Market.
However, the ice cream company withdrew their permit on Monday, saying their site plan was not quite ready yet.
SEATTLE - Salt & Straw's newest ice cream shop could be coming to downtown Seattle, possibly in the former Starbucks at 1st and Pike.
What we know
The Portland, Oregon-based ice cream company applied to renovate the location right across from Pike Place Market earlier this month. The Starbucks closed back in August 2024 after an "evaluation" of the store's environment.
However, records show Salt & Straw withdrew their application on Monday, claiming the site plan was not yet ready to be submitted.
A site plan was attached to the original building and land use pre-application, describing the scope of work for the renovations. The 2,453 square foot space would likely undergo minor mechanical, plumbing and electrical work, along with layout changes to the interior.
What we don't know
It's currently unknown if Salt & Straw plans to resubmit its application for the former downtown Starbucks location. FOX 13 Seattle has reached out to the company for comment.
Salt & Straw is a take-out ice cream company with over 40 locations nationwide, including four in western Washington. They already have two shops open in Seattle, in Ballard and Capitol Hill, with another one planned for Queen Anne.

FBI investigates ‘suspicious' death on board Carnival cruise ship in Texas
Multiple federal agencies are investigating a death on board a Texas-based Carnival Dream cruise ship, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. An unidentified person died on the Galveston-based Dream on Wednesday, the FBI Houston office confirmed to the Post. The incident is being investigated by an FBI Maritime Liaison Agent based out of the Texas City Resident Agency, the US Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection, authorities said. An unidentified person has died on board the Carnival Dream cruise ship based in Galveston, Texas. KHOU 11 Officials haven't said if the death appeared to be criminal in nature. 'Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, I am not able to provide additional details at this time,' a spokesperson for the FBI's Houston office said in a statement. Passengers aboard the ship, which travels to Costa Maya, Belize, and Cozumel, woke up to sirens around 3 a.m. on the day of the incident, News 4 San Antonio reported. One man reportedly heard an announcement requesting medical attention on the Serenity Deck, the outlet said. According to the FBI, multiple federal agencies are investigating the death. KHOU 11 Carnival Cruise Line has since dismissed that there is any investigation regarding a 'suspicious death,' the outlet reported. 'There is no investigation about a suspicious death on Carnival Dream, and it's disappointing to learn that any guests might be spreading rumors about something they know nothing about,' the company said in a statement to the outlet. Carnival Cruise Line did not immediately respond to a request from The Post for comment.

Oil Prices Caught Between a $70 Summer and Growing Surplus Fears
(Bloomberg) -- Oil traders are grappling with a tension — there's a growing chorus of warnings about the market weakening later this year and into 2026, but for now prices are holding strong near $70 a barrel. The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy France's TotalEnergies SE last week warned the market is facing abundant supply as the OPEC+ group unwinds output curbs, even as slowing global growth weighs on demand. Norway's Equinor ASA said its new Johan Castberg field is operating at full pelt, with a Brazilian offshore asset starting soon, a reminder of additional barrels expected from outside the producer group. Both the International Energy Agency and the US Energy Information Administration earlier this month bolstered their estimates for the surplus they see next year. The two widely-followed forecasters expect supply to eclipse demand by the most since the pandemic, with the IEA's projection at 2 million barrels a day. A surplus that pushes prices lower will help tame inflation, hurt high-cost producers and likely please US President Donald Trump who has called for lower prices since taking office. It's a stark contrast with the here and now, where inventories at key storage hubs remain low, reflected in a bullish market structure that indicates tight supplies. Profits from turning crude into fuels are also far above seasonal norms, underpinning demand for crude. 'One of the issues that has been supporting oil has been the seasonal strength of the summer months,' Francisco Blanch, head of commodities and derivatives research at Bank of America Corp. said in a Bloomberg TV interview. 'Second half of the year the surplus is going to be close to 200 million barrels,' which will ultimately weigh on prices, he added. While most of the IEA's revision of next year's outlook centered on output additions by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, who will meet to discuss output levels in early August, there were also some less obvious drivers. Forecasts for the supply of biofuels, which compete with conventional oil, are about 200,000 barrels a day higher than two months ago in the agency's estimates. The US government now sees global oil supplies about 2.1 million barrels a day higher in the fourth quarter of this year than the first, the biggest increase it has seen over the period since February. The two bodies' forecasts constitute an important element in traders' evaluations of how the market will unfold. For now, signs of robust demand remain. Leading oil trader Vitol Group said last week that jet fuel demand has been steadily climbing, with flight numbers reaching all-time highs. US weekly oil-demand figures are the highest this year. That data has been revised higher in final monthly readings for four of the last five periods where complete figures are available. And while the global trade war offers reason to be concerned about consumption, historically demand estimates have tended to be revised higher too, suggesting that the currently-expected surplus could narrow. From 2012 to 2024, the IEA's demand forecasts have ended up being on average close to 500,000 barrels a day higher than when the estimate was first issued, as more data became available. That excludes 2020, when the global pandemic transformed consumption patterns. Still, once the summer's strength wanes, a global surplus is likely to emerge, according to Natasha Kaneva, JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s head of global commodities strategy. 'Supply is increasing,' Kaneva said in a Bloomberg TV interview. 'At some point this inventory build will start showing up in visible inventories in OECD countries like the United States. At the moment it's not priced in.' --With assistance from Julian Lee, Grant Smith, Kari Lundgren, Lisa Abramowicz, Scarlet Fu and Romaine Bostick.
