Closing and Opening

Paper Cat, Pioneer Square's purveyor of playful paper products, will be closing its doors for good at the end of the month after 31 years. An increase in rent is to blame (in this case an increase of 30%). They're currently having their final sale, so it's a good time to stock up on cards, pick up a few of the antique fixtures they used in the store and say goodbye to this Seattle mainstay.

The venerable Merchants Cafe restaurant in Pioneer Square should reopen in late May under new management, one of its co-owners said. The restaurant has been closed for repairs following a rent dispute with the former tenant. It will reopen in time for the tourist season, co-owner Dennis Loeb said.
