My friends are looking for a new place for their vegetarian restaurant. They have been renting space from a cafe. The cafe owner wants to bring in an additional business that will sell meat, which is unacceptable to my friends. Does anyone know of a place they can go? By the way, their food is really good and nearly everything can be made vegan.

I'm looking for a hair salon owned/operated by a vegan that is taking new clients.

For context, found out that the cruelty-free/vegan salon I used to go to, which was operated by a non-vegan stylist, uses a product that contains Kerratin (derived from wool). I know, I know, honest mistakes do happen. But I'd just feel more comfortable getting service from someone whose ethical values more closely align with mine and would be more diligent in checking the products they use.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback on this!

Hey all. You might know us as the folks working toward a member-owned vegan grocery store, so here's a fair question: why was one of the first things we built a restaurant guide instead of, you know, the store?

On purpose. A store like this only works if there's a community behind it first, so we started with something useful we could offer that community right now.

The free 100% Vegan Restaurant Guide is now up to 30 fully vegan restaurants across Western Washington, including Tacoma, Kitsap, Everett, and the Eastside, not just Seattle proper. Searchable by area and cuisine, verified against each restaurant's own site, and open source if you want to see the data or adapt it for your own city: https://www.seattlevegangroup.org/guide

We put the fuller reasoning in a blog post, but that's the gist: use the guide, share it, and it keeps local vegan spots busy, which is the same ecosystem a store would join.

We also run a small fundraiser toward the legal groundwork for the store, no pressure at all, but it's there if you want to help: https://www.freefunder.com/campaign/svg-legal-fees

We're on Discord if you want to follow along: https://discord.gg/E5PRYfZMHN — and if we've missed a fully vegan spot, let me know and I'll get it vetted and added.

If you're looking for vegan community, join us this Sunday for a picnic in Judkins Park 3-5pm. Please share the dish you're bringing in the Facebook event page or at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

All are welcome

I’ve been finding it really hard to connect with mums that are oblivious to / do not care about the cruelty of animal farming and spending time with animal eating mums talking about all the animal flesh they plan to feed their babies is painful.

I recently moved from the UK to Bellevue and have a 4 month old baby, If you are a vegan/ vegetarian mum in the Seattle area I would love to connect :)

We made a guide to every fully vegan restaurant in Seattle (26 so far)

A few of us put together a list of every 100% vegan spot we could find in the area, Capitol Hill down to Everett. Thai, Mexican, sushi, bakeries, bars, cafés, soul food, the works. You can filter by neighborhood or cuisine and it links straight to each place’s site, phone number, or reviews.

Link: seattlevegangroup.org/guide

Still in beta, so there are probably mistakes; wrong addresses, outdated numbers, places that closed since we added them. If you spot one, let us know and we’ll fix it.

Also if there’s a fully vegan place we missed, drop it below, we’ll add it.

(We’re just a small volunteer group doing this on the side, no ads or anything, just trying to make it easier to find vegan food around here.)

FYI - you may be invited to participate in a week of activism July 21 - July 26 called the "RAGE Tour" with some multinational animal activism groups Coalition To Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT), Animal Activism Collective (AAC), and International Coalition For Animal Welfare (ICAW).

Before participating, you would be wise to read this website about Tyler Lang, Coalition To Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT)'s co-founder and current Campaigns Director:

https://www.tylerlangandkevinolliffabusewomen.com

The other two organizations are tightly interwoven with his organization CAFT.

Animal Activism Collective (AAC) had him on their podcast in January to talk about activist safety.

All three groups are also tight with the Direct Action Everywhere (DxE)/Simple Heart/Save The Dogs/Ridglan Rescue crew, which has over a decade of well-publicized abuse of volunteers.

These three organizations (CAFT/AAC/ICAW) go around to different cities and countries hosting activism events.

Their fundraising growth depends on the number of cities/countries visited & number of demonstrations/participants.

You can do grassroots activism without these folks coming in from the outside with their abusive behaviors.

If you're looking for vegan crepes, search no further .. head to Everett and have your taste buds blown!

Hi everyone. I live on the Quimper peninsula, near Port Hadlock. I'm trying to network with other like-minded people. I can't travel to Seattle for meet-ups. Is anyone aware of groups that meet between Quilcene and Port Townsend? TIA!

I wanted to call attention to a restaurant my husband and I love. It's called Koshari and it's located in Ballard. This is a restaurant that specializes in koshari, arguably the national dish of Egypt. Koshari (the dish) is vegan by default! It consists of rice, macaroni pasta, lentils, chickpeas, and fried onions. It's super tasty. The restaurant is technically vegetarian, but most of the dishes are vegan or can be made vegan. The people who own the restaurant are also super friendly. Personally I love both the koshari and the Lebanese fattah. My husband and I go two or three times every month because we love this restaurant.

I'm looking for a birthday cake for tomorrow. Are there any bakeries that I can try? My last ditch option would be Wholefoods or PCC but wanted to see if I can do anything better.

The WA Department of Natural Resources plans to auction off nearly 1,000 acres in Tiger Mountain State Forest for clearcut logging over the next few years. If you're a Seattle/King County resident who values Tiger Mountain for more than its timber, give this petition a sign and share!

Are there clothing optional hot springs around here? Help a vegan looking for a soak!

That’s all. Their food was delicious and the place had such weird/amazing vibes. Ugh and the drinks were good too. 😭

Heard that Met Market carries Yo Egg, and went to the Crown Hill location but found nothing, not even a shelf spot for them. Anyone know where they can be found in Seattle?

Best vegan sushi place I recently came across.

Has anyone been before? Is it worth it going for us vegans?

Two things happening at Seattle Vegan Group — newsletter expansion and co-op update

The newsletter: We've been running it for a while and we're expanding the scope to cover more community events, local meetups, and vegan happenings around Seattle. One place, regularly updated, free. If you're vegan in Seattle and want to know what's going on in the community without hunting for it — this is the easiest way to stay connected.

The co-op: We're meeting with a lawyer in July to start working out the right structure for a member-owned vegan grocery co-op under Washington state law. We haven't filed anything yet — we're taking this one step at a time and getting legal advice before we do. The store we have in mind is focused on specialty vegan packaged goods that are genuinely hard to find in Seattle. Aged cashew cheeses, vegan ice creams, synthetic meats, specialty refrigerated and frozen items, veganized pantry staples. Deep and curated — not trying to be a general grocery store.

The proof this works is Vegan Haven — nearly 17 years on University Way NE, $1.5M+ in annual sales at peak, stable 20% gross margin, financially healthy throughout. Closed April 2022 because of COVID not because it failed. We have the publicly filed documents. We have 200+ newsletter subscribers who stayed engaged for four years with no store to shop at. We have a founding team that ran the previous store.

Nothing to commit to yet. But if you want to be in the room when founding membership opens up — subscribe to the newsletter. That's where it goes first.
