One of Seattle’s most popular punk dive bars is closing down. The owners of the Kraken Bar and Lounge in Seattle's University District said new developers of the property are taking over and want them out next month. "I've only ever opened a bar. I've never closed one before,” said Daniel Colley, one of the owners of the Kraken Bar and Lounge. “So, this is new territory for us. But we're trying our best" The small bar has been a treasure for punk rock music lovers for 12 years, giving several bands their first opportunities to be on stage. "My happy place is standing back here, watching the bands love it and then watching that everyone that came here loving it,” said Colley. “So that's what makes it a community. It's not only one person, we all did this together." READ THE FULL STORY HERE: https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/kraken-bar-closing/281-9d179908-93f9-4fdd-a675-fb22645e0147
