Green Car Company considers move back to Kirkland from Bellevue

By Reporter Staff

The Green Car Company, which relocated from Kirkland to Bellevue last June, is considering a move back to its old digs.

The company, which specializes in electric and biodiesel cars, moved to Bellevue last year to consolidate its show room and repair shop after it couldn’t find an appropriate place in Kirkland.

But now the business has its wheels set on other locations, says Susan Fahnestock, owner of The Green Car Company.

Though she is not certain yet that the company will move from its current location, she said she hasn’t been pleased with the treatment the company has received from the City of Bellevue.

“No one from the city has dropped by to see us once,” she said, noting the city is focused on development and “isn’t super interested on what we’re doing.”

Among the cities that are courting the company are Kirkland, Issaquah and Seattle.
