"After years of construction delays dating back to the project's 2013 announcement, I'm relieved to see H Mart finally open a new 15,000-square-foot location at 1601 Second Avenue, just a couple of blocks from Pike Place Market. The outpost stocks over 30,000 varieties of Asian goods, including local greens, fruits, meats, and seafood, plus beer, wine, and grab-and-go items, and the store is celebrating its grand opening weekend by giving free gifts to customers. It also signals continued expansion in the region—H Mart says it plans to offer a delivery service via its website and mobile app, though the launch timeline remains unclear, and the new store joins other recent and planned H Mart additions across Seattle and Western Washington." - Gabe Guarente
