SEATTLE — One of the West Coast’s most popular doughnuts is coming to Seattle.
Voodoo Doughnuts, founded in Portland back in 2003, filed plans to build its first location in western Washington on Pine Street in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
It is unclear when the Seattle location will be opening. Voodoo Doughnuts did open a location down in Vancouver last year and has already expanded out of the Portland area to such states as Colorado, Texas, Arizona, Illinois, Florida and California.
Currently, 1201 Pine Street houses Pho 4 You. Building plans appear to show Voodoo plans to utilize most of the space in its building for storage and production, with a small stand-up bar area as well as a merchandise display and table for condiments. The estimated cost for the project appears to be $500,000.
Just down the street from the proposed location is the Starbucks Reserve Roastery on Pike Street, and the new doughnut shop would be just on the other side of Interstate 5 from the Seattle Convention Center.
Voodoo Doughnuts isn’t the first popular chain in recent months to file plans for a new Seattle-area location. Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers has filed plans for two stores in western Washington, including one in the University District.
