Tacoma doughnut shop known for decadent fried treats will close after 14 years
Legendary Doughnuts will close its Tacoma store Nov. 15, ending a 14-year run on Sixth Avenue, the owners announced on social media over the weekend. In Nov. 7 Facebook and Instagram posts, Shannon and Ken Patten said the last few years “have been quite a struggle for us at this location,” pointing to pandemic-related challenges, a general economic downturn and customers having to “choose between treats and necessities for them and their families.” They also said they recently received notice of “a substantial rent increase close to $2,000 a month and continued price increases,” which contributed to their decision. “It is with great disappointment that we have to announce the closing of our Legendary Doughnuts Tacoma location,” the post read. They thanked their customers, especially regulars who returned week after week, and their employees. “We were able to build and foster business relationships throughout the community and would like to think we did our small part at being good neighbors.” In an email Monday afternoon, Shannon Patten confirmed that the property owner had informed them last month of a rent increase of approximately $1,800. They had been on a month-to-month lease since November 2025, she said, and they “did not

New barbecue restaurant now open in downtown Gig Harbor
My 4 Sons BBQ has opened in downtown Gig Harbor with a menu of brisket, pork and chicken by the pound or plate, paired with sides like smoked mac and cheese, BBQ beans and a surprisingly refreshing broccoli salad. It’s still in a soft-open phase, with select-day meat specials — including smoked turkey on Thursdays and beef-back ribs on Fridays and Saturdays — not yet available. But the core menu of meat by the pound and sides in various sizes is ready alongside a full bar with a few local beers on tap and cocktails ranging from mules and margaritas to a bacon old fashioned. Owners Matthew and Brenda Henning purchased the former tenant at 7707 Pioneer Way , Brimstone PNW, late this summer. The couple has operated a takeout-focused barbecue business in the Midland area of Tacoma since 2018. Speaking to The News Tribune in August, Matt Henning said they had been casually looking for a second location and appreciated the rustic vibe of the former Brimstone space. It’s also much larger than their flagship in Tacoma, which would allow some experimentation. He had teased the likes of beef cheek nachos, which were already featured at least once as
