PCC Community Markets, the largest community-owned food market in the United States, has revealed that its newest location, in Burien, Wash. – its first south of Seattle – will open May 23.

Located in the Five Corners Shopping Center and serving Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, Sea-Tac, White Center and all areas in between, including West Seattle, until PCC’s store there reopens next year, the 25,000-square-foot store will also be the area’s first certified-organic grocery and PCC’s first location slated to operate on 100 percent renewable energy.

Further, the Burien location will bring more than 100 union jobs to the community, and PCC is forging community partnerships with such local entities the Des Moines Food Bank and the Highline School District.
