Our History Ward Myers,
the stepfather of the current owner Alex, was a cook and baker, in Alaska. He
worked in remote logging camps where fresh baked goods and homemade meals were
nearly impossible to obtain. He and his wife, Lydia (Alex's mother), moved to
the Snoqualmie Valley and opened The Original Brown Bag Cafe in 1979 in Carnation
Washington. The restaurant was an instant hit! It provided the loggers of the
area with a hot, cooked meal as early as 4 a.m.! While they were eating their
hearty breakfast, they were having Ward pack them a homemade "Brown Bag"
lunch, for later in the day. This was truly a family business. Ward was
the cook and baker. Alex worked as the baker, and at times as the server and even
the dishwasher. Michelle (Alex's sister) worked as a server/hostess and cashier.
All the while Lydia did the books, supervised the front end and hosted and cashiered.
Before long it was the favorite destination of not only locals, but tourists as
well. |  |
In 1989 Alex purchased The Original Brown Bag Cafe
restaurant from his mother. In 1991 he opened the Redmond Brown Bag Cafe and,
opened the much larger Kirkland Brown Cafe in 1994. The Original Brown Bag Cafe
in Carnation was sold in 1994.Brown
