WOODINVILLE — Molbak’s Garden + Home, a lush retail oasis of greenery and a Woodinville favorite for nearly 70 years, will close.

The family-owned garden store, just across the Snohomish County line, has long been a destination for gardeners and homeowners in Snohomish and King counties.

The sprawling garden center announced Monday it plans to shut down early next year after it was unable to reach an agreement with its landlord Green Partners, a local developer.

“Molbak’s and Green Partners, our landlord and the developer of The Gardens District, recently met with a mediator,” Molbak’s CEO Julie Kouhia said. “It was not successful.”

1. No! We lived in Seattle in 1983 and loved to browse and shop there!

2. Best garden store in the Seattle area

at least when I lived there. I remember buying dwarf rhododendruns with purplish flowers there. They were healthy and beautiful.

3. Its just a crying shame

I have made many Molbaks destination trips across the Sound over the past 30+ years to purchase their quality plants. I owned a Plant Care business, and could always count on Molbaks to have what I needed for a client. It just seems a shame that they couldn't come to some sort of agreement. 😥
