HELP FOR MAUI: More West Seattle businesses with ways to help fire survivors

On Thursday, we mentioned that Marination would sell musubi all weekend to assist survivors of the Maui fires that have killed dozens, with hundreds missing. Today, more West Seattle businesses have announced plans to help:

CAMP WEST: Through Sunday, the restaurant/bar at 4539 California SW in The Junction will donate 10 percent of its proceeds from food sales to the Maui Food Bank.

OPAL STUDIO: Opal Nail Studio at 4155 California SW is collecting items for shipment to Maui:


They’re open until 7 pm tonight and 11 am-4 pm both days this weekend,

GRILLBIRD: Two readers have pointed out that the teriyaki restaurant (35th/Morgan) is asking customers to “round up” their tabs so the extra can be donated to Maui relief – through the end of August.

ALAIR/DYLAN: The South Admiral shop (3270 California SW) will send you a 10 percent discount code if you message them with word you’ve donated to Maui fire relief.

Know of anyone else? Please email us – westseattleblog@gmail.com – so we can add!

ADDED: Update on Musubi for Maui, from Marination:

We are so excited to say the first 1,250 musubi sold (Saturday) will be matched thanks to the generosity of our West Seattle neighbor, Geoff Arakawa. This will increase our donation significantly and strengthen all of our efforts to help Maui recovery efforts.

The team is working so hard to make sure we’re prepared for you all tomorrow and we are giving you the biggest MAHALO ahead of time for showing our staff patience. If we happen to run through musubi before you get here we’ll be donating a portion of food sales …

PATRICK’S CAFE & BAKERY: On Sunday, when this popular eatery at 10003 15th SW in White Center is open 8 am-3 pm, they’ll be donating proceeds from shave ice.
