3. Recycle project by Rae Ann Brown
The two pieces of property that I would like to see recycled are the old Safeway building and the LaVogue Department store. They are adjacent properties located in downtown Hoquiam, on Simpson Avenue. The department store is in the process of closing. It is owned by the Bitar Family of Hoquiam. The bicycle shop in one portion of the building is still open and there are offices above the store. The old Safeway building is owned by Mark Swanson a local businessman. When it came up for sale several years ago it was purchased by the Swanson brothers so that another grocery chain could not go in and bring competition to their business which is located two blocks from the site. The Safeway building is currently for rent. The Swanson brothers were very supportive of the new YMCA project.
I would like to see these buildings be utilized as an art commons. My vision includes an area where musicians could gather and play unamplified music, a pottery area with kilns, a silver smith/metal working area, fly tying, spinning yarn and knitting, painting, poetry reading and writing, and a coffee area for socializing. There could be a room for meetings, demonstration and lessons. Local artists could mentor new artist. I think this would bring people together and promote artistic growth in our community there are many craftsman in our area. The commons could be supported by membership much like the YMCA. Grants could be written to get some need repairs and restroom facilities. There could be a gift shop for artists to place their work and a portion of the profit could go to the commons. This venture would also bring people to the down town area and could possibly support an art store, the 7th street theater and local restaurants.
The historically renovated Hoquiam library is just 2 blocks away. The library has meeting rooms that could support activities such as author hours, book signings and writing workshops. Also within walking distance is the former Eagles building. It has recently been renovated and is ready for a restaurant and shops. There is a walking path behind these buildings that is a loop that circles the two bridges and connects these buildings with the farmers market and the Eighth street landing. It would be a great place to meet with friends.
