Seattle building is the first to get new cement-free concrete / The Daily Journal of Commerce, Journal, Benjamin Minnick / 04.17.25

The first batch of a new concrete that doesn’t use cement was recently poured as part of a seismic retrofit to a 120-year-old brick building in the Green Lake neighborhood. That two-story building at 7200 Woodlawn Ave. N.E. is owned by Donald Davies and will be the future home to Atlantic Crossing Pub, which is moving from the Roosevelt neighborhood.
