Double DD Meats hits 70-year milestone in Mountlake Terrace

Celebrating its 70th anniversary, Double DD Meats in Mountlake Terrace has become a cherished destination for meat enthusiasts and hot sauce aficionados alike. Owner Kim Nygard credits the shop's longevity to exceptional customer service and high-quality products. Initially a small establishment, the business has expanded significantly to meet demand, offering a diverse array of meats, including camel, bison, and alligator. Seasonal fluctuations in sales are notable, with rib roasts leading Christmas sales, where customers often wait in line starting in August. The store's unique selection of hot sauces, reportedly the largest in the U.

S. for a brick-and-mortar shop, adds to its appeal. Nygard highlights customer traditions, noting the bustling atmosphere during the holidays and the disappointment of customers arriving on closed Sundays. The family-run operation employs 50 staff members and maintains a strong local following. With a commitment to quality and community, Double DD Meats aims to continue its legacy for years to come.
