A Seattle Lexicon: Dead Diners & Other Lost Locations
"Andy's Cafe. Shares top honors along with the Dog House on the list of Seattle's dead diners. Andy's was for years and years the main gathering place for, and the spiritual center of, Capitol Hill. In the years that I went there, and I started when Hot Turkey Sandwiches were 75 cents, the place never changed. The menu, except for the prices, remained almost exactly the same. Much mourned. Spent many a day there hopping tables, moving from one conversation to another, eating two, sometimes three, meals, without ever leaving the place. Now that it's gone I no longer know where to go when up on Capitol Hill. Just not the same place anymore. Andy's is not to be confused with Andy's Diner, which until fairly recently was a popular eating establishment located in a series of railcars down on Fourth Ave. S., although there are undoubtedly some, who did not frequent the Capitol Hill establishment, who refer to the latter as 'Andy's.'"

Ileen's may be closing (yet to be confirmed), but it won't be the first Broadway diner to disappear. I have heard the name 'Andy's' whispered in legend. Here's a blurb about it on an amazing site about Seattle pop culture, the Seattle Lexicon.
