Arnies has closed its Edmonds waterfront restaurant, leaving longtime customers turned away at the door when they arrived on September 22, 2026, expecting dinner as usual.
The closure was attributed to the current business climate not allowing the restaurant to continue, according to the Edmonds Beacon. Arnies now has no remaining restaurants under its name, following the 2023 closure of its original Mukilteo location. As reported by FOX 13 Seattle, the restaurant sat on the Edmonds waterfront, where its website described it as serving seafood against the city’s iconic views.
Eileen Tietze, a long-time customer who lives in Lake Stevens, told the station Arnies was a lovely place to have dinner. She said the restaurant had been busy whenever she visited, which left her puzzled by the sudden shutdown, and she suggested people may simply not be eating out as much these days. Tietze also expressed concern for the staff who worked there.
