Micronesian Market, located in Burien, WA, offers a taste of home for Micronesian and Kosraean residents in the area. Founded by Johnston Edwin, the store provides a variety of traditional Micronesian food staples such as canned mackerel, rice crackers, corned beef, breadfruit, and more.

Johnston's motivation to open the store stemmed from his wife Tulpe's homesickness, leading to the surprise opening of their own Island Mini Mart instead of a trip back to Kosrae. The store's inventory includes frozen and canned fish, canned goods, fruit juices, snacks, island print shirts, and mumu dresses - all reminiscent of Micronesian culture.

With a focus on serving the Micronesian community, Micronesian Market not only caters to the Edwins' nostalgia but also fosters a sense of connection among Micronesian residents in Burien and beyond. The store's unique offerings and welcoming atmosphere provide a touch of home for those craving a taste of the Pacific islands.

The Owner John made an agreement with me and then backed down. I tried to call him back to speak with him about it and he hung up on me three times. This is no way to do business.

Own this business?
See a problem?
