Metropolitan Market has an unrelenting commitment to sourcing the highest quality products available and standing behind the products they sell. "We are thrilled to open our Sammamish location, providing the very best foods from the Pacific Northwest and around the world in one place," said Metropolitan Market President and CEO, Todd Korman. "Our knowledgeable and passionate team is ready to welcome Sammamish with great service, whether it's a quick bite or a full shop for the week's groceries. We look forward to becoming a trusted member of this community."

The Sammamish store will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will feature both regional and international specialty products along with grocery essentials allowing for a convenient one-stop shopping experience. The kitchen shop will be filled with tools of the trade, expertly staffed by culinary professionals. A tasting kiosk will provide cooking tips and meal suggestions from Metropolitan Market's own culinary artists. The floral shop will offer the widest selection of cut flowers and hand-tied bouquets in the area. Produce of the highest quality will include an array of ready to eat fruits and vegetables. The butcher will carry naturally raised meat including prime, choice, dry-aged and Wagyu. The fresh seafood department will feature local shellfish arriving daily. The beverage department will hold a variety of wine and spirits from the Pacific Northwest and around the world.

The Sammamish Metropolitan Market's unique offerings include the following:

• The cheese selection will provide a vast assortment for customers including Point Reyes Bay Blue, Ferndale Farmstead Asiago, Pecorino Toscano and their very own fresh stretched mozzarella made in-house, while culinary specialists can aid in creating the ultimate cheese or charcuterie platter.

• Located on the second level will be the mezzanine seating area, which will offer a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere for dining and catching up with friends.

Contributing to the communities they serve is a high priority for Metropolitan Market. In 2016 alone, the company helped provide more than half a million meals for locals in need throughout the Puget Sound region. Metropolitan Market's dedication to community involvement is apparent through its existing partnerships with local organizations, including the Sammamish Community YMCA, Sammamish Chamber of Commerce and the Sammamish Farmers Market. The company will continue its strong partnership with the Sammamish Community YMCA as their largest local business contributor. Metropolitan Market is also a presenting sponsor for the Sammamish Farmer's Market where they will have a table each week during May through September.

As an anchor tenant in the ecofriendly Sammamish Village, the Metropolitan Market building was designed in tandem with the Village's green infrastructure. The property utilizes a photovoltaic/solar array that generates renewable energy and directly feeds the electrical system serving Sammamish Village exterior lighting.  Green components on-site include rainwater harvesting, in which storm water is stored in a below grade vault and filtered for irrigation usage throughout the property. Pervious paving is being used in almost half an acre of Sammamish Village, which helps manage surface water during heavy rainfalls. The project's outdoor pavilion includes a green roof, which reduces run-off and pre-filters rain water ahead of entering the underground storm water vault. Developed by TRF Pacific LLC, Sammamish Village will host a broad mix of services in addition to Metropolitan Market including medical/dental, quick serve restaurants, sit-down dining and other neighborhood services.
