NOTE: Due to the an abundance of caution related to the potential windstorm, this event was rescheduled to November 26. It was originally scheduled for November 20.
On Tuesday, November 26 from 10 am to noon, Noo-Kayet Investments (NKI) will host a Groundbreaking event celebrating the construction of a new building for Eagle’s Nest Espresso. NKI is the business arm of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe.
For close to two decades, people have started their days with a caffeine jolt from Eagle’s Nest Espresso, which is in the lot of Gliding Eagle Market at the corner of Hansville Rd. NE and Little Boston Rd. in Kingston. Located just outside the gas pumps, the stand’s popularity has often resulted in long lines and occasional traffic snarls.
The solution is a new building that expands Eagle’s Nest while moving it further back on the property. When complete, the new Eagle’s Nest Espresso will double its customer capacity with two drive-through windows, and expanded food options, especially for breakfast.
The Groundbreaking event will include a blessing and an opportunity to take a sneak peek at the building to come. Food and espresso drinks will be available for everyone in attendance.
The Grand Opening of the new Eagle’s Nest Espresso is expected by early Spring 2025.
The Groundbreaking for Eagle’s Nest Espresso is free and open to all Tribal members, customers, neighbors, and community.
