This tasting room in downtown Lynden is closing

One of the first eateries in the remodeled Waples Mercantile Building in Lynden is closing.

Drizzle, which sells infused olive oils and vinegars at a small tasting room and cafe, is closing its Lynden location after nearly three years in order to better focus on its flagship Fairhaven store, co-owner Ross Driscoll said in an email.

The store’s last day in Lynden is scheduled for Oct. 20, but Driscoll said they plan on offering its more popular olive oil products in local stores in the north part of the county, including the Food Pavilion in Lynden and The Market at Birch Bay.

The company also sells products at its website.
