RESTAURANT & BEVERAGE BUSINESSES: More updates for our West Seattle list

| Coronavirus | West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news | West Seattle restaurants | WS beverages

As noted when the governor issued the “stay home” order, food and beverage businesses CAN stay open for takeout and delivery – they’re considered “essential.” So we are continuing to update the West Seattle list (see it here) we launched eight days ago, right after the governor ordered an end to dine-in/sit-down service. Already this week, we’ve had a few more closures, and a reopening. Please help us keep this updated – whether you are a business owner/staffer or customer, if you have a change/addition, please email us at westseattleblog@gmail.com or text 206-293-6302 – thank you!

Commentary on Talarico’s Pizzeria’s Facebook says they aren’t doing take out- yet. April 1st at the earliest. But at least someone is alive in there! XD

Kate S March 24, 2020 (10:52 am)

Does anyone know about Talaricos? It is closed and has brown paper taped to the windows. Are they just closed temporarily?

WSB March 24, 2020 (9:20 pm)

Had a story on that the other day.

Pot shops are open, apparently an essential business to help people to deal with the added stress!

Vic March 24, 2020 (12:11 pm)

The shelter in effect doesn’t go into place for 48 hours after the announcement last night, so Wednesday. Maybe they are trying to cram in business before the close up.

  Dispensaries will remain open as they are listed as “essential” under the Governor’s order.
Um, No! March 24, 2020 (1:41 pm)

Tax $$$$!

  I think part of it may be that some of us use it for medical reasons as well.

    I appreciate you mentioning that, Erithan. I am so glad that our governor has the sense to recognize this. It is important to remind folks of the very important medical benefits of cannabis for a host of medical conditions. It has helped me so much for my overactive frontal lobe.

Besides Mashiko, are there any sushi places open?

KM March 24, 2020 (1:08 pm)

With Azuma and Kamei closed, I can’t think of any others in WS.

  Irashai is also closed, they were doing take out for a short time but have been closed.
  - KM March 24, 2020 (3:41 pm)
    
    Good shout! And the sushi place closed on Alki longe before the outbreak, I believe. I think that really leaves Mashiko!

Beveridge Place is closed – announced via FB

WSB March 24, 2020 (12:07 pm)

Thank you.

Beer Junction is closed until further notice from state government it appears. Sign is posted outside their front door.

WSB March 24, 2020 (3:10 pm)

Yes, we updated them earlier today after getting that word.
West Seattle Guy March 24, 2020 (6:03 pm)

Is this because of a direct state action against them? Or because of Inslees order?

Stacy March 24, 2020 (2:35 pm)

I think Ma’Ono is closed, we tried to call and order on Sunday and no answer and nobody there when we drove by. Saw another comment too about this.

WS Steve March 24, 2020 (2:52 pm)

Does anyone know if Meat the Live Butcher is still open?

miws March 24, 2020 (3:10 pm)

WS Steve, I don’t know if they are, but, if you tried calling/visiting yesterday, remember that they are closed Mondays, even under normal circumstances. —Mike

Added: 3/25/20

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the Coronavirus at this time. We want to let our customers know we are remaining open during this time to continue to provide food and other essentials such as toilet paper, bleach, and dried goods in our community. We will be operating with reduced hours, open from 10am – 5pm instead. The safest way to place a large order right now is to phone it in or email it in and pick it up when we call you and let you know it’s ready. We have a hand sanitizing station at our front door and we ask every person coming in to sanitize their hands before entering. We have imposed a limit of only 2 customers inside at a time. Thank you for your cooperation. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Calires March 24, 2020 (2:55 pm)

Olympia Coffee is open, it appears normal hours, and I think they are only allowing one person at a time inside. (I live very close by and I’m going off what I see looking out the window.) Nothing on the website about special hours.

Fergie March 24, 2020 (3:20 pm)

Olympia Coffee will be closing temporarily after tomorrow.

Questions March 24, 2020 (3:23 pm)

Question: I got an email from Paggliaci’s on there enhanced cleaning and precautions during this time – including new contactless delivery. Have other local locations put out the new measures they’re taking for both employee and customer safety? I know gloves and masks are hard to come by but I worry about touching bags, containers, food during this virus scare. I also saw something about Uber Eats offering contactless delivery but I’m not sure if that actually works since their drivers normally don’t/won’t get out of the car. Has anybody had success with this option?

Meghan Hogan March 24, 2020 (3:52 pm)

Dream Dinners, West Seattle is opening and taking online orders at DreamDinners.com! No need to run to the grocery store, we can help you with dinner for a month!

Teresa Jones March 24, 2020 (4:26 pm)

Darby Winery @ The Junction is OPEN FOR TAKE OUT BUSINESS – stop by to stock up on some delicious WA Wine – 20-30% discounts available right now!

Kathleen Brennan March 24, 2020 (9:34 pm)

Does anyone know the status of Lee’s Asian Restaurant? Their website and Facebook don’t have any current info.

WSB March 24, 2020 (10:12 pm)

We are walking The Junction every few days looking at door signage. Lee’s has been closed.

I was happy to see the lights on at Locol on 35th & Kenyon tonite. Their IG says they are doing takeout orders (between 4-8 I think) with a limited menu: signature tacos, soups, salads, sandwiches, etc. Menu can be expected to change daily. As one of two walkable dining spots/watering holes in my neighborhood, I really hope they come out on the other side intact and will personally be getting takeout from them as often as possible. I saw the roll up doors open at the Westy, too. Assuming/hoping they’re doing something similar.
