Shalini over at Eater Seattle tells us that Elemental and Elemental Next Door (3309 Wallingford Avenue North) will close on June 21. Co-owner Laurie Riedeman told Eater that their lease is up and that "she and her business partner (Phred Westfall) have decided to explore new challenges."

Thanks for the tip,…
