SUBWAY sandwich shop opens for season at King County's Marymoor Park

From watching birds and walking the dog, to competitive cycling and soccer tournaments, King County's Marymoor Park offers an activity for everybody. And now, with the seasonal reopening of the SUBWAY sandwich shop, visitors can enjoy a healthy meal at Marymoor without leaving the park.

The store has opened for the season with a new operator, Jennifer Kaslow, who says store hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week, with additional hours added for large events.

SUBWAY first opened its Marymoor store in 2005 as part of King County Executive Ron Sims' drive to bring innovative proposals for new concessions, sponsorships and events to generate revenue and help fund the park system. The Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way also features a SUBWAY store.

"We are happy to once again provide a healthy food alternative for Marymoor Park users," said King County Parks Director Kevin Brown. "We're fortunate to have a proven, solid partner onboard."

Other successful King County Parks entrepreneurial partnerships include:

  • US Bank Concerts at Marymoor Park,
  • Group Health Velodrome, naming rights
  • Cougar Mountain Trail Running Series
  • Cirque du Soleil at Marymoor, beginning May 4
