I lived on First Hill during much of the 90's and worked at the old Fed Courthouse, and I remember shopping at that store quite a bit - it was the only thing anywhere near before the QFC came in at Pike. I can remember being happy to see one of their most outgoing employees working w/ a different grocery chain later. Now I work at the Central Seattle Public Library, and I am so glad there's a grocery back in the area, convenient to downtown. Wow – I did not know that about the dojo!

Bruce Lee's best friend owned it and their was a relatively secret dojo in the basement where he trained a select group of martial arts afficianados. The story, told by Pacific Northwest Magazine about 6 or 7 years ago, is fascinating and worth digging up in your library. I lived on 8th & Spring from 1995 - 1997.

(I lived in the old seagoth building, the Paul Revere, at 9th & Spring, in 1998.) The Shop-Rite (aka Crack-Rite) was at 8th & Madison, down the hill from Vito’s.
