The new Metropolitan Market has a set opening date: The Crown Hill location will open August 30.
Metropolitan Market has been eyeing up the former Value Village location at 8532 15th Ave NW since early 2021. The building has been empty since Value Village moved out in 2019. Crown Hill marks Met Market’s tenth location in the region.
The Crown Hill location will have a bakery with specialty cakes, local pies, pastries, and “The Cookie”—apparently a legendary favorite at Met Market, baked fresh and served warm. They’ll also have baked goods from local producers such as Belle Epicurean, Macrina, and Milkvue.
The Met Market Cafe will have Caffe Vita’s brews plus fresh smoothies and teas.
The Crown Hill Met Market will also have a number of made-to-order foods, including a prime rib sandwich and mojo Caribbean pork sandwich, ramen noodles, plus soups, salads, and hot bar entrees. Make-to-order salads and other menu items including the Sichuan Tofu & Citrus Bowl, Northwest Smokehouse Salmon Bowl, and the Power Bowl.
The new store will also have the usual trappings of Met Market. Expect a large cheese selection, a butcher shop with ready-to-cook meals such as burger patties and kabobs, and a kitchen shop with housewares, kitchen tools, cutlery, and linens. The wellness department will carry over 5,000 personal care items, from vitamins, supplements, cosmetics, and aromatherapy.
“Food is about bringing people together, facilitating meaningful relationships, and feeding long lasting memories,” Metropolitan Market CEO Ron Megahan said in a statement. “We are absolutely thrilled to be joining the Crown Hill community and we look forward to meeting our new neighbors soon.”
Metropolitan Market opened their first location in the Puget Sound region in 1971. Along with the Ballard location, they have locations in Magnolia, Queen Anne, West Seattle, Mercer Island, Sand Point, Sammamish, Kirkland, Gig Harbor, and Tacoma.
