The former Seattle karaoke bar and restaurant Bush Garden is going to reopen.

The iconic gathering space and bar in the Chinatown-International District closed during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Now, the karaoke hotspot is expected to return in spring 2024 at 714 South King Street.

"I can't believe it's been nearly three years since Bush closed," owner Karen Sakata said in an Instagram message earlier this month. "It's amazing how much my life changed when that happened. So I'm really missing seeing everybody and looking forward to seeing everybody in the new space when we open."

Bush Garden is asking for memories and stories on its website as it builds excitement for next spring.
