Basecamp Books and Café will open in Roslyn, Wash., this summer, and owner Chris Martin told the Daily Record that he hopes to create a "traditional small town space" that will appeal to locals and visitors.
Martin has purchased and is renovating the building that once housed the Pioneer Restaurant and Sody-Licious Bar, aiming to restore the building to its original historic size and look.
Besides books, events and food, Basecamp Books and Café will offer information on hiking and skiing in the area and handle programming for the Roslyn Yard, the new park next door.
Roslyn is where the exteriors were filmed for the 1990s TV series Northern Exposure, set in fictional Cicely, Alaska.
