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 slated for March 14, visitors can enjoy a healthy meal at Marymoor without leaving the park.

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.

Hours for the Marymoor SUBWAY are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week, with additional hours added for large events.

Other successful King County Parks entrepreneurial partnerships include:

  • US Bank Concerts at Marymoor Park,
  • Group Health Velodrome, naming rights,
  • Cougar Mountain Trail Running Series,
  • Dasani Blue Bikes free flex bike program at Marymoor,
  • Starbucks Regional Trail Kiosk "wayfinding" system, and
  • First Tech Movies @ Marymoor.
