While we wait for whatever arises just east of the Washington Federal Savings and Loan Bank, construction has begun on a new state liquor store at the corner of Prune Alley and Rose Street, where the double-wide Pyewacket trailer used to be.
The new Windermere building, just north of the old Templin residence in Eastsound, is now scheduled to open in mid-January. When that happens, the former Gudgell Properties Real Estate office will vacate its waterfront property underneath Christina’s Restaurant. In its former life, it was the Wine Company. Plans are for a pub to move into the space.
