Seattle Restaurant Week and Eat Local First are excited to launch their first ever Digital Passport! During Seattle Restaurant Week, March 30 through April 12, download the passport on your smartphone and check in at participating locations verified as sourcing food that is grown, caught, raised, and made right here in Washington State.

Diners will earn points by scanning a custom QR code at any establishment on the Eat Local First x Seattle Restaurant Week digital passport during their onsite dining experience. Points can be redeemed for restaurant gift cards for future visits — and all passport users with at least one check-in will be eligible for a special prize giveaway at the end of SRW.

Sign up here to receive an activation link as soon as the passport is live! 

During SRW, participating restaurants, bars, pop-ups, and food trucks offer special menus at a range of prices to meet most budgets, like $20, $35, $50, and $65. These menus showcase chef’s picks, most popular items, new specials, or exemplary dishes. 

Part of what makes Seattle cuisines so extraordinary is our abundance of locally grown food.  Our bustling metropolis is surrounded by seas, farmlands, and ranches, all stewarded by people who care deeply about nourishing their communities. Restaurants that source local ingredients not only have the freshest dishes but support our local food economies and have a much smaller carbon footprint than transporting food from other parts of the country.

Read on to learn more about participating SRW restaurants included in the passport.
