Marination Opens Second Location at the Beach!

The team behind one of our favorite food trucks, Marination Mobile, will open a second brick-and-mortar location. Named Marination ma kai (after a Hawaiian phrase that roughly translates to "near the sea"), the restaurant will be located on Alki's beachfront.

Clearly, what this all means is that a) the sun is still out, and b) you should eat more ice cream. Read more »
