Happy Birthday, Copine.
We turn 8 years old today…and the world is in a much different place than it was when we opened. It’s been a journey.
It’s a great feeling to be called out as singular in the field; one we are proud of and share with our team. Ultimately, though, it’s love of what we do that keeps us engaged, creating and pushing.
Many local restaurants including Copine are struggling at present; economic and environmental factors combined with the state of the country - and world - have created some hurdles. For a few months now, we have been meeting with small independently owned restaurants, bars and businesses in the hospitality sector here in the Seattle area.
The collective conversations and shared experiences have given all of us an extra motivation. The Indie Seattle Hospitality Alliance (ISHA) has formed and planted some seeds. IG (@indie.seattle.hospitality)
When choosing where to spend your dining dollars: please keep small, independently owned properties in mind. They are what keep Seattle interesting and unique. As they say: ‘you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.’ Happy Birthday to our little train that keeps on chugging, despite global pandemics and the like. Thank you to our amazing guests for your support.
And thank you to our people - past and present - for your immeasurable contributions. You are the reason. Let’s go year eight…
