Recent Olympia-area business closures, including a drive-in restaurant

Multiple longtime Olympia-area businesses have announced closures in recent weeks, including a Lacey bakery, a west Olympia drive-in and a farm supply store. Here are key takeaways: Miss Moffett’s Mystical Cupcakes in Lacey plans to close by the end of the year after nearly 14 years in business. Owner Rachel Young, who finished as runner-up on Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars” in 2013, cited declining sales, higher gas prices keeping customers away and rising food, labor and utility costs. Builders FirstSource has closed its west Olympia location at 1830 Black Lake Blvd. SW, consolidating operations into its Lakewood and Shelton facilities. The Coastal Farm & Ranch store at 5500 Martin Way E. in Lacey is winding down operations by Dec. 31 , according to store manager Rob Re. Everything is being sold, including fixtures, with current discounts up to 50% expected to grow as the final day nears. The Sonic Drive-In at 1303 Cooper Point Road SW in west Olympia permanently closed Oct. 15 , a company spokesperson confirmed. Sonic encouraged customers to visit its Lacey location at 7746 Martin Way E. The summary points above were compiled with the help of AI tools and edited by Olympian reporter Rolf Boone.

This Family Barbecue Joint in an Old Washington Auto Garage Only Serves Lunch, and the Brisket Sandwiches Need Extra Napkins

A hot sauce so fierce it has its own nickname, and you have to ask to meet it. They call it The Man, and it gets spooned out of a small, well-used pot like a family treasure. The sauce lives inside a converted auto garage in Washington, close to a busy freeway. The kitchen only serves lunch, so timing matters.

This Old-School Washington Deli’s Reuben Is So Huge It’s Worth the Detour to Bellevue

The Reuben here is so tall that plenty of people give up on their hands and reach for a fork and knife. That’s not a gimmick. That’s just how this sandwich arrives. The corned beef gets piled high, and the sandwich lands next to a scoop of potato salad. Pastrami gets the same generous treatment.

At one oyster bar on Hood Canal, the fried oysters get tossed in buffalo sauce seasoned with kelp. Seaweed in the hot sauce. I needed a minute with that one.
