Olympia, WALocal News

MiSo, a beloved Asian-themed restaurant, is set to relocate from its Capital Mall location to a new spot in downtown Olympia, aiming for a mid-January opening. Co-owner Ryan Rommann highlighted the challenges faced during their five-year tenure at the mall, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, while expressing enthusiasm for the new venue across from the Capitol Theater. The new location will feature a walk-up window, allowing the restaurant to serve beverages during downtown events, boosting customer engagement. MiSo's move is part of a broader trend, joining newly opened establishments like The Mystic Game Shop and Lolli Llama Candy Co. , both family-owned and contributing to the local economy.

The Mystic specializes in tabletop games and hosts events, while Lolli Llama offers candy and frozen treats, enhancing the downtown experience for residents and visitors. This surge in new businesses reflects a revitalization of downtown Olympia, expected to draw more foot traffic and foster a vibrant community atmosphere. As MiSo prepares for its grand opening, the local dining scene is poised for growth, enhancing the diversity of dining options available in the area.
