Downtown Caribbean Restaurant Jerk Shack Has Now Closed Permanently - Eater Seattle
"Jerk Shack, a Caribbean spot that was the only fully Black-owned restaurant in downtown Seattle, is now closed permanently. The restaurant, which opened in 2018, faced several issues including labor shortages, pandemic effects, and a denied grant application. The ultimate barrier to reopening was a short lease term offered by the landlord, leading to its closure." - Harry Cheadle
