By all accounts, the mood was cheerful at the opening of the new Trader Joe's store in the Shoreline Marketplace on N 175th, across from City Hall.

Orderly lines of happy people formed before the 8am opening ceremony.

Trader Joe's was welcomed to Shoreline by the Highland Terrace Neighborhood Association. On the left is Scott Shiebler, Kyrie Cataldo with sons Calvin and Henry, and then Jeanne Parrent.

As a perq for the opening, customers were greeted with leis.


Trader Joe's staff presented everyone a colorful lei to set the stage for a fun shopping experience.


Young Cooper Shosten was having more fun than anyone as he gave leis to people as they entered the store. Cooper's father, Ryan Shosten is a Trader Joe's employee.
