It all began in 1971 with one store location in Seattle known as Food Markets Northwest, Inc. Today, more than 35 years later, Metropolitan Market has become an award-winning store with multiple locations throughout Seattle and Tacoma. Throughout the years, 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 cooking kiosks, where you can experience the quality foods from our stores first hand. Our meat is the same quality that you would find served at the finest restaurants. All natural, hormone and antibiotic free and fed a 100% vegetarian diet. Our meat and poultry is not only better for you, it also tastes better. Metropolitan Market is open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
