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.

Former Ram Restaurant in Lakewood will soon offer a ‘taste of Southern charm'

The owner of Hot Fish House, known for fried catfish and a giant turkey leg stuffed with and surrounded by all manner of Southern specialties, will soon introduce a full-service restaurant in the former Ram Restaurant and Brewery in Lakewood. Quinton Gethers is hopeful he can reach the finish line to open Q’s Restaurant — with a tagline of a “taste of Southern charm” — by the end of the year. The black-and-gold signs went up in October. He has been working on the approximately 8,000-square-foot space since April, he said, super-cleaning the carpet in the main dining room, which boasts a tall fireplace and several built-in, half-circle booths. ( The Ram in Lakewood closed in September 2025, but its other locations in Washington, including on Ruston Way, continue.) He spruced up the Ram’s old tables and chairs, painted the walls a Kelly-green hue and hung interesting images of animals in unusual settings, some in military garb. He already fielded inquiries for the generously sized private banquet room. The Ram company constructed the building in 1988, about 17 years after debuting its brewpub concept in what became Lakewood Towne Center. It feels somewhat of that era, with a cool greenhouse-style

Teriyaki spot scores 100 red points. Here are Thurston Co. food scores for Nov. 10

Comments are taken directly from the latest Thurston County Public Health and Social Services (PHSS) inspection reports, which are available for each food establishment, at the Thurston County Environmental Health Office and their website. For questions concerning these reports, contact the health office at 360-867-2667. Report restaurant, grocery store, deli or bakery complaints online via the complaint form here: https://www.thurstoncountywa.gov/phss/Pages/eh-problem.aspx . Reading inspection scores: Red violations are those most likely to cause food-borne illness and must be corrected immediately if feasible or according to a compliance schedule established by the health officer. Example: not keeping food at the right temperature. Blue violations relate to the overall cleanliness and condition of operation and must be corrected according to a compliance schedule established by the health officer. Example: a worn floor that needs replacing. If red points exceed 45, the county will require a reinspection within 10 business days. A reinspection also is required if total red and blue points exceed 65. If red points exceed 100 and there’s a lack of managerial control, the county may shut down the establishment. The establishment may reopen after the person-in-charge develops a written course of action to correct all violations and demonstrates corrective action
