Local Love

The world might be turbulent, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop enjoying the little things in life, or some amazing food! Supporting local businesses has never been more important than today. As you may know, many small businesses operate within very small margins and your patronism means everything to them. Even a small amount like $20 might be the difference of someone keeping their shift tonight, which trickles into their family’s well-being, and of course, our Seattle economy as a whole.

As always, please let me know how I can support you. If you know a restaurant or local business we missed, please reach out and I’ll update our list and get them on our Instagram. Be well and wash those hands!
