White Center Now: The blog about White Center

Reporting for White Center Now

In June, White Center will be getting a new business at 9617 16th SW. (Thanks to the readers who pointed out the liquor-license application notice on the door!)

Wolfpack Cellars is a Burien-based winery that produces small lots of local, Washington wine. Customers can expect local wines, glass pours, wine tastings and a subscription wine club.

The address was among those hit by the big fire in 2021 that affected seven businesses on 16th Ave. (Previously it was the location of Westside Boxing Gym.) After rebuilding and renovations, the spots have gone up for lease.

Wolfpack Cellars sources all of its grapes from Eastern Washington, including Yakima Valley and Kennewick. In addition to wine, they are also a supporter of Wolf Haven International, a Wolf sanctuary in Tenino, which customers can support by purchasing a specific blend from the winery’s website.

“As for our soon-to-be White Center customers, we are very excited to meet them and officially be part of the community!” Said James Bivans, one of the owners of Wolfpack Cellars. “Being a small LGBTQ-owned business, we know how great it feels to be part of a warm, accepting community and that’s what we aim to do. We want to welcome new friends who also have a love for wine, food, family, and dogs to join our pack!”

Once the White Center location opens, their current Burien location will shift to production only. You can read more about Wolfpack Cellars here.
