A Tully's Coffee cafe operated in a first-floor storefront on the building's northwest corner from 12/14/2000-09/23/2012. (See Lauren Becherer, "Tully's Coffee closed after 12 years on The Ave," The Daily of the University of Washington, 20/11/2012, vol. 121 issue 14, p. 1, 5.)
Turner Construction participated in a renovation of the Wilsonian Apartments that commenced in early 2012.
