Capitol Hill edit
Seems the Capitol Hill location no longer exists (at least, according to the company's website). Anyone able to share a source confirming the closure so the article can be updated appropriately? ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:36, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
Triangle Building or Silver Okum Building? edit
This source says The Confectional is in the Triangle Building. I think the business actually operates in the adjacent Silver Okum Building, but I'm struggling to find a source confirming. If possible, let's update this article as well as Triangle Building (Seattle)? ---Another Believer (Talk) 04:07, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- Try the official Market map. It's in the Triangle Building, same as Mr. D's. ☆ Bri (talk) 05:19, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Bri: The map does not distinguish the Silver Okum Building from the Triangle Building. I understand the two buildings were connected in 1977, so perhaps sometimes they are singularly referred to as the Triangle Building. We should probably either create Silver Okum Building (if there's enough coverage to justify a standalone entry) or expand the Triangle Building entry to include details about the Silver Okum Building. File:Pike Place Market - Silver Okum Building & Copacabana 01.jpg does a good job of showing the adjacent buildings. ---Another Believer (Talk) 05:23, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, I thought the market map outlined Triangle Building with the thick line, but apparently that's serving another purpose. From Google Street View now I think Juice Emporium is in Triangle, but The Confectional is on the ground floor of the three-story building facing Pike, that's the Silver Okum Building. ☆ Bri (talk) 05:45, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Bri: Correct! I'd update the article(s) appropriately, but without sources this is original research. ---Another Believer (Talk) 05:59, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- Page 10 of this Seattle Preservation Board document identifies 1530–1534 Pike as the Silver Oakum Building. ☆ Bri (talk) 06:17, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Bri: I've made a stub for Silver Okum Building. (based on text on the building's exterior), though "Silver Oakum Building" may be more appropriate based on sourcing (?) ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

- BTW City of Seattle has a public document that uses Joe Mabel's picture of Silver Okum Building on Commons without attribution (slide 12). ☆ Bri (talk) 05:49, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
