Kevin Bui, owner of Huong Xua White Center Deli, located at 9629 16th Ave SW, in Seattle’s White Center neighborhood, stands inside his deli Thursday, October 21, 2021. It is next door to The Locker Room Tavern which was destroyed by a fire in September. Water used to put out the fire shot into the deli and firefighters had to remove part of the roof so the fire wouldn’t spread further, seriously damaging the building. Bui is hoping to reopen the business he runs with his wife. Shot Thursday, October 21, 2021. A fundraiser for the deli has been started by Full Tilt, a neighboring business on the north side of the deli. For more information, see: www.gofundme.com/f/help-huong-xua-deli-open-again 218578
