Pub owner Laurel Trujillo, whose Ounces Taproom & Beer Garden will probably be demolished to make room for a Delridge light rail station, thinks she might spend $750,000 to replumb, rewire, redecorate and rent some other building in West Seattle.
The only compensation she’s certain of getting is a $50,000 business reestablishment stipend, a figure that hasn’t been adjusted in 20 years. Trujillo also hopes that a hodgepodge of other reimbursements will come from Sound Transit, but reckons those would still add up to only one-third of her needs.
