Belgian Native Opens Rainier Coffee, Gift Shop
Rainier, WA – Charging herself with the task of bringing out happiness and health in people while helping them slow down a bit, Michelines Corteville opened her artsy storefront, Mee-sha-leen’s, in Rainier last summer but only for two days a week.
The cafe and coffee shop then went to being open three days a week in December and as of Jan. 18, Mee-sha-leen’s is now open four days a week. The shop offers all sorts of items and gifts — jewelry, art, vases, essential oils, soaps, gift baskets, coffee, tea, sandwiches, quiches, soups and more, and also offers patrons free Wi-Fi. Mee-Sha-Leen’s sells flowers during special occasion holidays, such as Valentine’s Day.
Having lived in Belgium the vast majority of her life, having gone to school to be an interpreter (she speaks five languages), and even having maintained a position within the Parliament there, Corteville moved to Yelm in May 2011.
