Q & A From Dan J.

I used to make regular trips out to the Bush house for lunch or dinner, and am really bummed that it has been closed down.

Has there been any buyers for the property yet or has the city bought it and is working on making it a historical landmark?

Great question Dan and hopefully I can answer it.  Corrections are welcome.
To my knowledge, nobody has stepped up to buy it.  It needs a LOT of work.  Septic, foundation, rotting out and the list goes on.

On the bright side, there are attempts at the present to make it an
historical landmark.

Before we moved here, we used to eat there 5-6 times a year.  Great food.  Lousy service (no labor pool up here so you get what you get).  They had the best pepper steak for miles and miles around.

The building is owned by one of the Nordstrom’s grand-daughters (heresay?), and she is probably in her 80′s.  The house that came with it was purchased a few years back and the folks have been working on it pretty steady.  I think they moved in finally and continue to work on it but they have done a fine job getting back to a habitable state.

Time will only tell what happens next.
