Unicorn WhiteCenter

Donation protected
Well I did not think that it would come to this -  but here I am.  Three years ago my wife & I made one of our dreams come true. We purchased a 24k sq ft building in White Center. Our goal was to create a magnificent space like no other in the world and have a space that we owned & would be safe from the ridiculously high rents of Seattle where we could have a sustainable business , we also wanted to give small business & first time entrepreneurs the same chance that I was given once when I started Unicorn (Capitol Hill ) so we spent the time & money earthquake retrofitting the entire building as well as replacing a 24k sq ft roof . We rented out the five storefronts on 16th sw to five awesome unique,first time business owners  (three of them are open, the other two coming soon). Money has been tight from the beginning as real estate in the NW is always ridiculous, but somehow, by some miracle we were able to get this building and were chosen over a developer that told us " I was going to put bars & restaurants in it & then "scrape it" in ten years "....  I cried for twenty minutes straight after finding out that we had been approved for the purchase. I started off bartending at a "dive bar" in Seattle and saved my money to start Unicorn.  Unicorn Capitol Hill has been wildly successful over the past decade and I used my share of the profits to purchase this space as our own- away from the cruddy business partners & exorbitant rents of Capitol Hill. We want this space to live on forever... and then the Covid came our way.  We haven't had any income whatsoever in the past 4 months from Unicorn Capitol Hill & instead have had to pay 100k + in rent & now we are just racking up an insane "rent tab" for our Capitol Hill space and who knows when we will be able to open again .... if ever. 

I know this might seem crazy... but thats me. I'm Kinda crazy I guess always have been & always will. I am who I am and thats who I am. 1.5 million dollars is a whole lotta cash but thats what it's gonna take at the least. Millions of people have come to Unicorn Capitol Hill and enjoyed the heck out of it, we employee 40 + amazing diverse employees & performers of ALL sexes,race & genders. we are like nothing else in Seattle

But let me tell you WORLD ... this place ... Unicorn south/whitecenter will be like nothing else IN  the WORLD ! I guarantee it. I knew that this would be an enormous undertaking and it is. Over the past six years I have been building this place in my studio (and my imagination/head ) piece by piece meticulously painting everything piece by piece-  it's the only way it could be Done. All to be put together like a giant puzzle someday. I know its a terrible time to ask for cash but we don't know what else to do, so no matter how small the donation it would be extremely appreciative ❤️❤️I wish 1.5 million people could donate a dollar LOL .  And if we get it maybe my wife and the great great city of white center will let me install a carnival ride in the parking lot like I want too ✨ (dreaming big still ) so please help if you can & help us spread the word & help us finish this massive/beautiful project.

thank you for your time if you read this 
we love you PNW
