New Pierce County grocery store opens soon in former Rite Aid building

A new grocery store in the works for over a year in Pierce County is set to open this month. In a social media post this week, Grocery Outlet announced the store at 22201 Meridian E. in Graham will have its grand opening at 7 a.m. Nov. 19. Monday was the first day of stocking and “setting the store,” according to the post. In early October, the store announced more than 300 people had applied to work at the store. The News Tribune first reported on plans for the store in October 2025 . The building, formerly a Rite Aid, was purchased in May 2025 by an LLC affiliated with Dickerhoof Properties of Corvallis, Oregon. Dickerhoof owns/manages retail property across multiple states. Plans for the Graham site were submitted near the end of July 2025. Another Dickerhoof Properties-affiliated property in Belfair (also a former Rite Aid) saw the opening of a Grocery Outlet last fall. A third new Grocery Outlet that’s been planned for the former Big Lots site at 5401 100th St. SW, Suite 102, is still in the works. Kelie Kahler, media representative for the City of Lakewood, told The News Tribune via email late Tuesday that: “The

New wood-fired pizza restaurant opening this weekend in East Pierce County

Bonney Lake’s newest family-friendly restaurant will open Saturday, Nov. 7, with a ribbon-cutting at 11 a.m. and a raffle to win free pizza for a year. Cascadia Pizza Co ., which started in Enumclaw as a single food truck in 2015, has partnered with a young but ambitious employee, 22-year-old Jacob Andrew, on the new franchise in the Route 410 plaza just east of the roundabout at 224th Avenue East. The company operates four other restaurants in the region and in recent years expanded to franchising in other states including Idaho, Oregon and Arizona with another in Texas en route. The Bonney Lake location will be its first franchise in Washington state, TNT Diner previously reported, and the first in Pierce County but likely not the last. “I started working at Cascadia when I was 16, and I never imagined that six years later I’d be opening my own location,” he said in a press release this week. “I’ve grown up with this company in so many ways. To have the opportunity to take everything I’ve learned and build something of my own is pretty incredible.” The brand is known for wood-fired pies (10-inch personal, $12-$17, or 14-inch large, $21-$29.50)

Will Tacoma tenants win big with ‘Safe Homes for All?' Early polling results out

Tacoma’s controversial “Safe Homes for All” measure is ahead by a hefty margin Tuesday night, according to early polling results. Initiative Measure No. 1 had about 59.48% of voters in favor and 40.52% of voters opposed as of 8:20 p.m., a difference of 10,199 votes. “Safe Homes for All” initiative amends the city of Tacoma’s rental-housing code and business-license code to give renters additional rights and allow the city to enforce the “Tenant Bill of Rights” measure that passed by citizen vote in 2023. The initiative proposes to fund city enforcement through per-unit license fees and fines paid by landlords, “improve compliance with tenant safety and protection laws” by increasing penalties for landlords who violate them, remove exemptions for large for-profit landlords who are repeat offenders and educate landlords and tenants on the law and tenants’ rights to form tenant unions, as previously reported by The News Tribune . The proposal generated fierce debate and investment from a multi-billion-dollar Seattle real estate firm . Opponents of Measure 1 included the Rental Housing Association of WA, whose spokesperson argued the initiative would force local landlords to sell to private equity firms, driving up rental costs and hindering new development, as previously

‘This is a problem.' Ferry service cuts prompt outcry on Pierce County island

Proposed service cuts to the Anderson Island ferry in 2027, including on weekends, holidays and both early and late daily runs, have prompted outcry from residents who say rates are increasing despite a reduction in service. More than 700 people filled out a recent survey about the proposed changes, said Josh Diekmann, the director of Pierce County’s Planning and Public Works Department. In a statement Thursday, Diekmann said staff are “conducting a full analysis of the survey data to prepare an updated schedule,” which will be presented along with survey results to the Anderson Island Community Advisory Board later this month. “While that analysis is still underway, we have heard the community’s concerns clearly — particularly regarding the proposed Sunday schedule and two-boat service changes. We have also received feedback from first responders who serve Anderson Island, and we are closely evaluating how our proposed schedule can be adjusted,” Diekmann said. “We’re seeing maintenance needs increase significantly for our two ferries as they age. The initial schedule proposal was developed to direct more of our ferry program’s limited resources toward critical maintenance work and provide more reliable day-to-day service. We know that any schedule change can have real impacts on
