MAGNOLIA

Northwest-bound out of downtown Seattle, Elliott Avenue runs along the bay for two and a half miles before turning north and becoming Fifteenth Avenue W on its way to Ballard. Just at the curve, the Magnolia Bridge carries traffic over railroad lines and port facilities up onto Magnolia Bluff and its small but prosperous business district, Magnolia Village. A couple of lunch counters were located here (the Magnolia Food Shop and the Magnolia Bowl Snack Bar, at 3212 and 3316 W McGraw, respectively), as well as a more upscale restaurant called Tenney’s. Verl and Alma Tenney, the owners and cooks, were well known for their homemade pies baked fresh daily: French apple, wild blackberry, pumpkin and pecan, among other flavors. By 1968, Tenney’s had become GG’s Restaurant, under management of Don and Clara Aust. Today, it’s an Austrian-themed steakhouse called Szmania’s. Tenney’s was located at 3321 McGraw. A few feet away at 3420 McGraw, and open as early as 1947, was the Village Grill, offering “good home cooking at moderate prices.” Still in business in 1960, it has since been replaced by a Chinese restaurant.
