The Melon Seed is temporarily closed — but the heart, the vision, and the community are stronger than ever. Now it’s time to rally and bring this Tacoma favorite back where it belongs. For years, The Melon Seed has been a place for joy, connection, and good food made with love. The support, memories, and loyalty from this community mean everything to us — and we are beyond grateful.

Recently, the Washington State Department of Revenue revoked our business license, forcing us to close our doors. This has been a heartbreaking setback, but we are not giving up. The owner is working tirelessly through the legal and financial steps needed to reinstate the license and reopen. Every day, we are reminded of the impact The Melon Seed has had on so many lives, and we are determined to come back stronger.

We’re raising funds to reset, rebuild, and reopen — smarter, stronger, and ready for our next chapter. Every donation fuels the comeback. Every share keeps the momentum going. Every supporter is part of the relaunch. If The Melon Seed has ever been part of your day, your family, or your memories — this is the moment. Let’s bring The Melon Seed back. Together.
