It all began in 1971 with one store location in Seattle. Today, Metropolitan Market has become an award-winning grocery store with multiple locations throughout Seattle and Tacoma. It has always been our goal as the area's leading progressive, independent grocer to always be the first to bring you the best. Our specialists travel the world to find unique products of the highest quality that will satisfy even the most discriminating palate. Everything in our stores reflects this passion for food, from our knowledgeable specialist in each department, to the thousands of Good Cuisine recipes we've developed and our culinary kiosks, where you can experience the quality foods from our stores firsthand.
