Crews finished knocking down what remained of the former Muckleshoot Shopping Center last week.

The center included the Quality Food Center, a grocery store fixture for 15 years that closed in April 2010, a victim of the economy and the chain’s plans to consolidate.

The dilapidated center was torn down for safety reasons, said Muckleshoot Tribe spokesman Rollin Fatland.

City officials have met with the Tribe to discuss the property’s potential, including retail possibilities, and reiterate its support and cooperation for any plans of future development.

Fatland, however, says there are no specific plans at this time for the Tribe’s vacant lot.
