Mill Plain Blvd. have submitted a preliminary application for a 4,700-square-foot, single-story retail building that would have a drive-through facing Mill Plain and 39 parking spaces. One proposed tenant is Costa Vida, a Utah-based Mexican restaurant chain operating in 12 states and Alberta, Canada. It has Washington outlets in Tri-Cities, Spokane and Federal Way. A second tenant has not been identified, but applicants say it probably would not be a restaurant.
