    Is it? They were there when I left.

    Years ago back in the 1990s there was one in Bellevue that I went to semi-regularly and that's where my mind went when I saw that logo. It's long gone. I know there was one along Bothell Way in Kenmore set back from the road. I haven't noticed it last couple years

    My parents sacrificed so I could wear Levi’s.
    My parents didn’t like me.

    We dreamed of owning Levi's around the dinner table in Scranton

    The trouble with Levis is that they cover up the leg hair

    I don't recall Sabey being from Spokane. If so, he moved away young and never came back other than buying Northtown Mall (which is now essentially The Walking Dead)

    He was always associated with Bellevue.

    Sure you're not confusing Kemper Freeman with Sabey?

    Damone vouched for Sabey's Spokiness, but he may have been a transplant.

    I am going strictly by memory to recall the late 80s/early 90s.

    Could be wrong...but usually not.

    Hate crime against Asians IMHO

    I was a Tokyo Garden man myself
    I was partially raised on Yasuko's.

    Unless I missed it, I can't believe nobody has mentioned Zesto in Ballard.

    Would have to know where he went to high school. But have never in my life heard of Dave Sabey being lauded as a Spokanite. Maybe he bailed as a youngster.

    Heavily involved in the North Town Mall in Spokane in the 80s & 90s. He's on the Board at Gonzaga (or was for awhile) as well. He may have relocated to Spokane while doing all the North Town Mall stuff, but from what I recall hearing on the news, he resided there during his ownership of F&N - at some point, I think when it was in financial trouble and about to close when that was. "David Sabey from Spokane" was how he was commonly addressed back then on Seattle news outlets.

    I'm sure that's how the Seattle media would like to portray it - but this is the first time I've ever heard of Dave Sabey ever being called a 'Spokane guy.'

    I don't think he's from Spokane - maybe resided in the 509 for a bit - but you're not a Spokane guy unless you graduated high school there. The natives won't have it any other way. He'd have been considered a transplant.

    I could be wrong on his roots but I don't think so.

    @PurpleThrobber I think the longer we debate Sabey's origins, the more AIDS we give this thread. Probably NOGAF anyway.

    Getting to the truth is never AIDS. I'm not debating. I left the door open that he may be from the 509.

    Nobody is providing much evidence to the contrary.

    Looks like Sabey is from Burien, pretty much a west side guy whose only real Spokane connection is his purchase of the Northtown mall.

    I’ll say this…I lived in Spokane from 87-96 and I couldn’t turn around without seeing his name on a crane, and not just at Northtown…

    Yes, I had to edit this. Three drink minimum…

    I never realized Kidd Valley was gone, but yes it has been years since I've seen it around.
    No just the burger babe. They are still around. The original on 55th and 25th NE was just announced to be closing however. Ivars bought them in the 90's I believe. Made a bunch of changes. IMO, not for the better.

    Ivar’s definitely owned Kidd Valley.
