Sequim: Landowners sends paperwork for Fred Meyer-anchored shopping center to City Hall

SEQUIM — A Sequim landowner has delivered paperwork to City Hall for a regional shopping center anchored by a Fred Meyer department store at the South Sequim Avenue interchange with U.S. Highway 101.

Mark Burrowes and his partner, Phil McConkey, submitted a preliminary application to city Planning Director Dennis Lefevre for their proposed Bell Farm Center, Lefevre confirmed Monday.

The village-themed outdoor shopping center would likely be anchored by the 160,000-square-foot Fred Meyer department store.

Bell Farm Center’s application comes on the heels of the proposed Sequim Village Marketplace, a different regional center anchored by a Home Depot home improvement warehouse off Washington Street and River Road, and a third development featuring a Wal-Mart “superstore” at Washington Street and Priest Road.
