If you love good food, you’re in the right place. Seattle has an award-winning culinary scene, and the abundance of locally grown food has something to do with it!
With plentiful farmlands and immediate access to exceptional seafood, the Pacific Northwest is home to thriving food economies made up of farmers, ranchers, fishers, dairies, and makers. When we seek out restaurants that prioritize sourcing local, we’re not only eating at the peak of the season — when produce tastes best — we’re also supporting Washington producers by investing our dollars in a local economy.
Fall is the PNW’s magic hour, with a bounty of chefs’ delights popping up on Seattle Restaurant Week menus, including: foraged mushrooms like chanterelles and moreles, carrots, parsnips, pumpkin and other winter squash, beets, apples, pears, grapes, and quince. There’s also seasonal seafood like salmon, sablefish, oysters, and King Crab.
