Were starting a new series of new interviews this year called the Rainier Beach Business Spotlight! We'll be going through the different businesses in Rainier Beach and giving the owners the spotlight they deserve!
Kicking off the series is a special focus on Harold Fields and Umami Kushi, which stands as an anchor in the Rainier Beach community. Through our RB Business Spotlight, we delve into the story of Umami Kushi, exploring why it chose Rainier Beach as its home and delving into the vital role of Black-owned businesses in our community.
