 A popular restaurant in Seattle's Green Lake neighborhood is closed. Eight Row was a three-time James Beard Foundation semifinalist for food and beverage excellence. The owners are temporarily sacrificing the family restaurant to salvage the family orchards in central Washington. David and Ian Nichols say they've been hit with a string of financial losses, including a direct hit by the Pearl Hill fire in 2020 and the apple crop lost to a hailstorm two years ago. According to the Seattle Times, Eight Row's final service was June 29th.
