Burien Press

We’re closing up early today so our team can go bird watching 🏈

Burien Press is hosting @backyardbagel this Tuesday from 6am until sold out. Naked, Salted, Everything, Onion, Poppyseed, Sesame, Jalapeño Cheddar. Whole or lightly toasted. Schmear on the side. Let us know if you'll be stopping by.

Today we’re serving coffee at one of our favorite community events of the year, Empty Bowls. It’s an event that supports @whitecenterfoodbank and @highlinefoodbank , Moshier Arts Center, and supported by countless local business. Attendees get to pick a hand made bowl and get served lunch or dinner. It’s at the Burien Community Center. Lunch starts at 11 and dinner starts at 4. See you there!

In solidarity with the people in Minneapolis taking a stand against the dangerous, dehumanizing, and un-American actions of ICE, we’re donating a portion of every sale on Friday, January 30 to support Minneapolis businesses making the choice to close and strike in their economic blackout against ICE. Countless other restaurants around the Seattle region are committed to doing versions of the same on 1/29, 1/30, and/or 1/31. For an updating list of businesses and their offerings of support, check out the post on @intentionalist_ . A world that works for everyone is possible if we create it.

Rooted in the same values, grown with the same love 🌱 All our cafés may have their own personality, but they’re part of one family- connected by care, community, and a shared way of doing things. 🤍 [ Seattle, Seattle cafes, coffee, wine, specialty coffee, all day cafe, Beacon hill, Burien, Capitol Hill, White Center, Coffee recommendations, winter ]

The end of 2025 marks the end of an era for Burien Press. Many of you have followed along and supported us as we navigated the upcoming sale of the building we’ve called home since 2009. Because of your support, 2025 marks the end of Burien Press renting that building and the start of Burien Press owning it. That’s right, somehow we pulled off the impossible. So many of you supported Burien Press this year in small and massive ways. Since we first shared the news last spring, it’s been a nonstop emotional rollercoaster day after day being amazed and overwhelmed at your generosity, efforts, and encouragement. Some of you supported us in ways we never imagined were possible. We don’t have words to express the impact its had on us. At the very last second we were able to put together a group to purchase the building with. Over the next couple years we’ll be working to buy them out before refinancing with the SBA. The purchase includes Burien Press’s space, 423 152nd Street, and the neighboring storefront 421, that housed Jaffe’s Pawnshop for decades. Over the coming year we’ll be repurposing the space to expand Burien Press’ seating, build our production kitchen, and split the front portion off to house another small business or businesses. We’d love your ideas of how we should use the space or if you know the perfect business to become our neighbor. We’re a long ways off from being able to build out the space but just like paying off the building, we’ll be chipping away at it day after day with your support. Thank you for making Burien Press possible. Burien Press wouldn’t be the same without you. Happy New Year!

Where We've Been: Burien Press. It was a different time. Masks were normalized. Juneshine cost $6.50/can. There was sun in the Seattle suburbs. RBG was moving from Legend to Icon status. Through it all, BP was serving good coffee to their neighbors day after day after day. For a too brief series of days. I was one of those neighbors. Senior discount available. #coffee #coffeepeople #BurianPress #Washington #rbg

Burien Press is trying to buy their forever home—and I want to help. I’ll be popping up there this Sunday and donating 20% of my art sales to support their campaign. If you’re local, come by. If not, share or spread the word. Community matters. 🖤 #burienpress #artistpopup #printmakersofinstagram #pnwartist #supportlocal #artforacause #makersgonnamake #cozyartvibes #seattleartist
