Seaside Grill has shuttered its restaurant at 2810 Alki SW after opening in 2025. Following the closure, the business initiated an everything-must-go sale to liquidate its remaining equipment and inventory.
Why it matters
The sudden closure of this waterfront space, which previously housed Locust Cider, highlights the high-turnover nature of restaurant real estate on Alki. For local operators, the site represents a location that has struggled to sustain long-term tenant stability in recent years.
The restaurant, located at 2810 Alki SW, ceased operations on October 20, 2026, after opening just last year. It marks the latest turnover for the address, which previously hosted Locust Cider.
The players
Seaside Grill
A restaurant operator that opened at the Alki waterfront location in 2025.
Pegasus Pizza
A food service business previously occupying the space before its eviction in 2022.
The details
The closure was confirmed by signage posted at the 2810 Alki SW location, signaling an immediate end to dining services. The owner, who was previously a co-proprietor of Pegasus Pizza during its 2022 eviction, began an everything-must-go liquidation sale of the restaurant's remaining assets at 9:30 AM on October 20, 2026.
Timeline
2022: Pegasus Pizza was evicted from the Alki space.

October 20, 2026, 9:30 AM: Everything must go sale started.
Market Landscape
This closure follows the pattern established by the 2022 eviction of Pegasus Pizza at the same Alki address. The site continues to experience high turnover despite its prime waterfront location.
Operators scouting for waterfront retail space in Seattle should investigate the lease history and physical infrastructure limitations of the Alki corridor. The repeated turnover at this specific address suggests potential challenges in managing site-specific operational costs or lease terms.
The takeaway
Rapid turnover at high-profile locations often indicates underlying structural or lease issues that may not be apparent at first glance. Before committing to a site with a history of evictions or short-lived tenancies, evaluate the prior operational outcomes of the physical space.
