Default A staple of Totem Lake gone forever

For those of you who grew up or have lived or worked in the Totem Lake area of Kirkland, I just heard from my old boss that he is closing the doors to Piccolino for good.

A couple of years ago he moved out to Redmond Town Center and the mall out there just killed him financially.

Don't worry though Ellis. I have the recepie for the seashell shrimp salad .

I felt the same way the last time I went to go to Larry's Market and found it gone. I had no idea they went bankrupt.

I'm with you on Larry's Market...I drove all the way there one day 20+ miles one way, to find out that they were gone... but now I've found other places to get the things I needed from there.

It's a good thing you already got a better job Howard.

Yeah, but I was holding it over my current boss' head whenever he started acting up at me. "Fine, I'll make a phone call and be working by noon," I would tell him. "And you will have to come out of that back office and work *YOUR* *** off." Then all the BS would stop and I could do my work.
