THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH
And check out these wine prices.

We can't thank you enough for all of the support in the last few weeks, and for the crazy crazy final open night on Saturday. We look forward to continuing to be a part of this incredible community.

We are in and out of the space this week, packing up and cleaning and making it ready for its new owners. They take possession on Tuesday the 19th. AND WE STILL HAVE SOME WINE .... that we are selling at crazy, 50% off, below-cost, prices.

The list of wine is below ... and it shows our cost, the list price, and what the price will be for anyone who comes an' gets it this weekend. The hitch: we are not open for classic retail. We will be there working this weekend, so stop by then OR give Richard a call at 206-227-6708 to arrange a pickup.

Anyone interested in the entire lot? Let's talk!

Peace and love to all.
Brenda and Richard

LAST CALL!!

This is it friends, our last week as our own peculiar little restaurant/bar/wine shop/specialty food store/community place/Afternoon Tea House. We love you and will miss being with you, celebrating with you, and hosting you.

A few details:

>>> Open regular hours WED, TH, FR, SAT

>>> PLEASE USE YOUR GIFT CARDS.

>>> WE HAVE SOME NEW TINNED FISH -- but it's still 25% off. The delicious FANGST Greenland Halibut (so .. yeah, support Greenland!), smoked trout, and equally awesome smoked salmon PLUS some really cool Italian Tuna in Olive Oil.

>>> There will be a wine tasting THURSDAY @ 6 PM

>>> TEA Reservations for May 9th are SOLD OUT

>>> CLOSING CEREMONY begins officially at 8 PM SATURDAY MAY 9.

Despite what Tako the Octopus says in the graphic below, there will be a limited (but AWESOME) menu of food, including the Vegan Sloppy Joe and the Kitchen Witch's amazing STEAK SANDWICH.

There will also be FREE POPCORN and olives and almonds and probably other s**t because we all will be sad but very happy to be with you.

In case you missed our email -- we are getting questions on this as May 9, our closing day approaches.

Your gift cards are good for ANYTHING, including Afternoon Tea, food and drink, merchandise ... and until you use them, our credit card processor/POS provider holds on to the money!!!

So please use them!

PLEASE USE YOUR GIFT CARDS!

THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE MARINA MERCANTILE NEWSLETTER:

Please Use Your Gift Cards!!

There are a LOT of Merc gift cards floating around out there. Some of you have asked if it's ok to use them -- PLEASE DO!

One of the scams built into modern tech is that the company we use for payment processing is the one who got the money for the gift cards -- we don't see it unless you use them!

So please do.

Use them for literally ANYTHING: retail, food and drink, Afternoon Tea ... if you have a Merc card floating around, we'd love to see it ... and you of course :)

Stay tuned later for additonal news.

Counting Down the Tea Times
Last Chance for Brunch!

Hello friends!!

As we count down the days until our Closing Ceremony, we still have Tea Times available both this week and next. Whether it's for Seasonal Spring Tea, something more on the PNW (smoked salmon) side, or even a vegan or gluten-free celebration, we're there and serving it up through May 9. Get your reservations here. (https://www.marinamercantile.com/reservations/)

THIS THURSDAY @ 6 WINE TASTING
"Next-to-Last" edition -- a fun change up on the starting sparkler, a French white delight, and two very different reds: Oregon Gamay and a classic Bordeaux. Dinner's available of course, as well as our usual array of snacks and goodies.

SUNDAY BRUNCH = FREE MIMOSAS
This Sunday May 3 will be our last -- and your last chance to enjoy tasty homemade Hollandaise, mushroom toast, or those incredible beef-fat-fried Jo-Jos. And of course, a free orange mimosa is available with every brunch order!

SAD REMINDER
Our last day at Marina Mercantile will be May 9, the day before Mother's day. We are serving Spring Tea in the afternoon, hosting a private Celebration of Life from 4-7 (how fitting!), and then will host our very own "Closing Ceremonies" party from 8 PM May 9 until it's over.

In the meantime, we're still having fun, enjoying your company, and keeping everyone on staff busy. This week's no different!!

Take care of yourselves and each other, enjoy the sunshine, and thank you being on this journey with us.

Tomorrow April 24 we are thrilled to be hosting everyone's favorites ZOOMA BELLA (w/Joey Kline, Cathy Sorbo, and Bruce Laven) AND the debut of the documentary short "ATSA NICE" by Avery Akins.

Full food/wine/cocktail/etc menu available all evening.

This will be the last music event at the Merc and it could not be more fitting than to have our dear friend and original manager Joey and the crew tearing it up. 🩷🧡💛💚🩵💜
