Unfortunately, the sign on the door at Mutual Fish Company at 2335 Rainier Avenue South in Seattle doesn’t say “GONE FISHIN,’” it says, “STORE CLOSING.”
Around the same time that Borracchini’s famous sheet cake ovens went cold, locally-founded beef jerky purveyorBusinesses in general and specific locations for businesses often have lifespans, and other economic forces are also usually a factor in decisions to close down. Add to this the fact that retail is undergoing seismic change post-pandemic and in the growing shift to online shopping, as we’ve seen withIt wasn’t quite business as usual at Mutual Fish on Tuesday.
Steve Jones lives nearby and has been coming to Mutual Fish for decades. He only found out about the store closing when arrived Tuesday and saw the notice taped to the front door. Jones says the news is certainly sad, but he’s seen the changes in the neighborhood, and he understands why the owners of Mutual Fish would want to shut down now.
As Jones left, he made a point to stop and greet Gus, the friendly German Shepherd belonging to Kevin Yoshimura. Gus spends his days in a spacious pen alongside the Mutual Fish building on the edge of the parking lot and loves to interact with regular customers. The big ”Mutual Fish” sign on the building, also likely Croonquist’s handiwork, with its stylized fish and unusual one-of-a-kind font, has been a landmark for passing motorists for more than 50 years. Turns out it’s not exactly Harry Yoshimura’s favorite.
“And, you know, the City Council’s not doing anything for us anyway,” Yoshimura continued. “We pay the taxes and everything else.” Thus, for Harry Yoshimura and his wife to return to Seattle from Minidoka in 1945 and launch an enduring business just two years later is a pretty amazing story. It could and should be called a quintessential Seattle story, a quintessential West Coast story, or just a plain American success story.
Math isn’t always a strong suit for radio historians, so after some quick subtraction and a second follow-up call to Harry Yoshimura, he confirmed that while his mother and father were incarcerated at Minidoka, he was born there.
