Downtown Seattle Cheesecake Factory closing in May after 23 years

After 23 years in downtown Seattle, the Cheesecake Factory will close the doors of its busy location.

The decision was made after “extensive review and analysis,” according to a spokesperson for the restaurant.

The last day the restaurant at 700 Pike St. will be open is May 4.

"We have truly enjoyed being a part of the downtown Seattle community over the last 23 years and hope to continue to serve all our Seattle guests at our nearby restaurant locations."
