Sub Pop on 7th store<\/a>\u00a0in the Denny Triangle, which closed this past weekend to gear up for the move.<\/p>\nOpened in 2021, Sub Pop on 7th (and its sticker-splattered storefront) injected a rare shot of good ol\u2019 punk rock spirit into the glassy towered heart of Amazonia, where lunch crowds and laminated badges roam the streets. With another pop-up store inside KEXP\u2019s Gathering Space at Seattle Center, the label opted to close Sub Pop on 7th \u201cjust so that we weren\u2019t overdoing it with retail shops,\u201d Jasper said.<\/p>\n
While the retail reshuffle was set off by the airport store\u2019s closure, unplugging from Sea-Tac wasn\u2019t necessarily something Sub Pop was itching to do. Initially opened on a short-term basis in 2014, the Sea-Tac shop outlived its life expectancy by about 10 years. As a condition to secure a new long-term lease, Jasper said they would have needed to undergo a \u201ctop to bottom\u201d redesign that \u201cwould have been really, really expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, one doesn\u2019t exactly need to squint to see the silver lining in their new high-ceilinged spot along the revamped waterfront. It\u2019s a stretch Jasper, a West Seattleite, and a number of Sub Pop staffers regularly walk on their way to and from the label’s<\/mark> Fourth Avenue office.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cFor any of us who have lived here a long time, that waterfront really does show the best of the Pacific Northwest,\u201d Jasper said. \u201cYou have the water, the mountains, a lot of mom-and-pop businesses that have opened up in the past couple of years. \u2026 It really is uniquely Seattle. So, the thought of being able to have a space there, especially when it\u2019s really this city jewel right now that locals can enjoy and people from out of town will also enjoy, that was really appealing to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not to mention the bit of almost-history Sub Pop had there. Nearly 40 years ago, when founders Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman were searching for office space for their fledgling record label, they looked at a space inside that same Maritime Building before settling on their original home on the top floor of the Terminal Sales building instead.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like to imagine that maybe Bruce and Jon said, \u2018Let\u2019s think about that. Can we get back to you in 40 years?\u2019 \u201d Jasper said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
