Main Street Moments Episode 1
Welcome to Main Street Moments with the Mount Vernon Downtown Association. We are excited to partner with Transmedia Vision on an all-new video magazine program that spotlights the latest news about our historic downtown and supports local businesses. Each week we’ll share something special!
We are still in Phase 1, but Governor Inslee’s office recently expanded the definition of safe, open-air dining in Phase 1 to include limited indoor dining in establishments that can create healthy fresh air flow, appropriately distanced seating, and other measures that include strict CO2 monitoring. Several downtown restaurants, including District Brewing, Temperate Habits Brewing, and the Trumpeter Public House have all opened up some limited indoor seating as a result of the change.
This episode we are all about sharing the love! For our loved ones, local businesses, and our community! We invite you to celebrate love in downtown mv with some pro tips for any of the loved ones in your life. Downtown Mount Vernon has all of the elements you need to celebrate your love! Whether you are looking for food, flowers, gifts or fun, you can find it all here!
Many of our dining establishments are open for curbside pickup and delivery, and a number of them - like District Brewing, Draft Pics, Il Granaio, La Catrina Tacos & Tequila, Pacionis Pizzeria, Temperate Habits Brewing, and the Trumpeter Public House have outside seating. Some even offer limited open-air qualified indoor dining - reservations recommended!
