Tonight in Seattle:  

Tractor Tavern in trouble?

This just in from one of our other favorite online girls about town, Ballard Gossip Girl: a rumor that the Tractor Tavern may be closing. The blog post reads:

So this Gossip Girl is on a conference call for work, and one of my business associates said "I hear the Tractor Tavern is going out of business. Their lease it up" I asked where he got this information, and he mentioned his friend owns one of the nice "tea" houses in Ballard.

Could this be true?

Please pretty please, say it isn't so? Anyone have scoop about this?

It can't be so!?!? What is happening to Seattle and it's venues?

The comments make it sound a little more optimistic though... lease issues don't necessarily mean closure. I hope??

Nooooo! Maybe we should plan a fund-raiser show??

These are undeniably tough times, but I think Tractor is gonna be fine.

Hey this is Greg at The Tractor. I can tell you 100% for sure that we are going nowhere. Our lease is all set for another decade. So no worries. Things have never been better around here. So i guess thats the end of that. Come by and see a show sometime!

Yay, this is great news. Nothing like hearing right from the source to squash a rumor. Viva le Tractor!!!

More specifically, you should come see a show tonight! The Dexter Street Stompers, (aka the KEXP Jug Band), is playing the Tractor at 10PM tonight. I hear there may be free kazoos...

The Tractor Tavern is the best place to see a band, definitely my absolute fave venue in all of Seattle.
(And I get out to a ton of shows. Bands - more Tractor show, please!!)

That's awesome to hear the Tractor is doing well & not going anyplace!! Big cheers to that!!!!

YAY! and phew! I love me some Tractor.
