After more than 20 years of selling vitamins, health supplements, gluten-free foods and vegetarian products out of a store in Mountlake Terrace, Manna Mills Natural Market has closed its doors.

Manna Mills announced last November that the store at 21705 66th Ave. W. would be closing. Its final day of operation was Saturday, Jan. 30.

The store’s most recent owner, Choon Park, bought Manna Mills about 10 years ago. She told MLTnews in August that she felt it was a piece of Mountlake Terrace history, so she bought it when the store’s founder put it up for sale.

The store announced its ceasing of operations last November and spent the it’s final three months liquidating its inventory.

There has been no word on what might be taking the place of the natural food market in the approximately 9,000 square foot storefront.

  1. I called there after a customer said she was closing and she said she wasn’t closing! What the heck!? I’ve been sending clients there for years. Knew the Hyatt family who started Manna Mills way back. So sad.
