Like us Previously reported, in February 2021, Burien City Council approved the Legacy Storefronts Zoning Code Amendment, which allows limited reopening of the city’s old historic storefronts, including the historic district. The Three Tree Point store, which opened in 1903 and was Burien’s first grocery store, has been lovingly restored by new owner Todd Manola to its previous iconic style, including new signage, interior renovations, paint and more.
