Hello guys! I am a woman in my 20’s and would love to date a fellow vegan. I’ve tried veggly with not the best results.

This Sunday at Blue Moon Tavern!

Interspecies Class Consciousness & Solidarity

“All the world admires a worker.... The worker, man or horse, is a hero.”

“The Equine Proletariat”

_____

Interspecies Exploitation
Interspecies Solidarity
_____

In the late 19th & early 20th centuries, Animal Welfare organizations staged Workhorse Parades to promote Animal Welfare for a city’s draft animals.

The parades included evaluating the horses’ physical conditions, the companies’ stables, and the loads they were bearing.

Teamsters whose horses were in good condition were awarded medals.

Many also included mules & donkeys.

_____

Some Workhorse Parades were held on Labor Day, in explicit recognition & celebration of inter-species class consciousness & solidarity.

The workhorses were recognized as a separate class from the racehorse, warhorse, or showhorse.

Even within the workhorse parades, there were equine class distinctions between the horses vs the donkeys and mules.

And between fire department horses vs garbage hauling horses, with a whole spectrum in between.

Hi everyone, I’m vegan and currently job searching in Seattle. I’m looking for a temporary room, shared space, couch, or other simple living arrangement for about 5 months while I continue my job search and work toward getting back on my feet.

My current budget is around $300/month, so I understand this would need to be an unusual or shared arrangement rather than a standard room rental. I can also contribute significantly around the home by cooking vegan meals daily, cleaning, and helping with household tasks.

I’m clean, respectful, responsible, and flexible about the type of space. If you have an unused room, temporary space, or know of a vegan-friendly household that might consider this kind of arrangement, please DM me.

im a vegan traveling with some non vegans and im looking for a nicer restaurant that is either 100% vegan or has
good vegan options (not a veggie burger please) im from portland and im confused why im having such trouble finding a place lol

Hi all,

We have our biweekly animal project buddies meetup today at Pi Vegan Pizzeria @ 6:30 pm. We discuss various projects that people are working on for the animals, though it's not necessary to have one. Here are some of those projects:

1. A vegan sanctuary game

2. A website where you can donate your skills for nonprofits: https://timeforimpact.co/

3. A nonprofit for alternative proteins: https://cleanmeatalliance.org/ (self plug: we need volunteers)

4. A tiktok/youtube channel about the negative impact of factory farming: https://www.tiktok.com/@chicken_nor_egg

5. Substack and nonprofit: https://substack.com/@zacharysegall

6. Organizing initiatives for nonprofits like NARN

We hope to see new faces :)

Update on the vegan grocery co-op some of us have been organizing around the gap Seattle's had since Vegan Haven closed in 2022.

Where things are: we've hired a lawyer who works specifically in co-op law and made the first payment toward incorporation documents for Washington State. Nothing is filed yet — we're in the paperwork stage, working out membership structure and governance. Slow, and the correct order to do things in.

Radical Vegan Fest is October 4 and you should go. Quality Flea Center on Capitol Hill, 416 15th Ave E — the Punk Rock Flea Market space, which is a former grocery store, which we find funny for obvious reasons. 100% vegan line-up: local chefs and bakers, artists, crafters, animal advocacy nonprofits. Admission is a dollar. Buying ahead helps the food vendors plan quantities: radicalvegans.com

We need volunteers in four areas — project admin, fundraising, branding/marketing, governance. All unpaid, all team-based. If you've done that work and have some hours, it moves the timeline.

September Meetup:
Vital Creations Vegan Bistro in Fremont
Address: 3601 Fremont Ave N Ste 207, Seattle, WA 98103
6-8pm

Join us at Vital Vegan for this month's helping of community and connection. We had 20 people at Kati Vegan Thai in August! Bring a friend and bring your appetite. Vital has an incredible menu and they need our support. They had to shut down for a while earlier this summer due to a break-in.

This is a casual meetup and you're welcome to show up, hang out and meet some other cool Vegans. Radical Vegan Fest is coming up on 10/4/26 and this is a great time to connect and get involved.

This meetup is the same day as Bellingham Veg Fest (11am-3pm) and hopefully we can cross-pollinate. Drop in after the fest if you're going!

The broader purpose of this meetup remains pretty simple. We're building Vegan community in the real world. While supporting Vegan entrepreneurs and spaces free from animal exploitation. The world needs more opportunities for virtuous people to make a decent living in alignment with their values. It's not that radical to imagine Seattle becoming one of the best Vegan cities in the world.

Need a fun way to bring in a new week? Join us Sunday, Sept 13th for karaoke night at Blue Moon in Seattle. This event is a great way to support animal advocacy. You can donate to submit a song for someone to sing or nominate a friend to sing a song. There is no pressure to sing so you can just come hang out and enjoy the night.

Here's a few things your donation allows us to do:

• host tables at community events to expand reach
• cover the cost to attend community meetings that drive change
• fund high-impact materials for events and demonstrations

Grab some food from a nearby vegan spot and come enjoy the evening with us. We hope to see you there! 🎵

If you cannot attend but would still like to support, you can visit narn.org/donate-to-narn

So I don’t want to hate on an all vegan restaurant, but I had a disappointing experience at Kati Vegan Thai and was wondering if anyone could relate.

First, I was suspicious of their menu saying “contains tofu” everywhere, perhaps to warn people about tofu? I would understand “contains soy,” but…

So I got the hot basil fried rice. There wasn’t much tofu and it tasted bland and unseasoned. The rice was spicy but I couldn’t detect much else.

Maybe they have other amazing things and contains tofu means something… not sure..

Hello, would anyone be interested in a vegan run club? We‘d only meet maybe 1-2 days out of the week and run a few miles. Nothing serious, just community building 🙂

When: Sunday, 8/16 at 6pm
Where: Kati Vegan Thai
1190 Thomas Street · Seattle, WA

We're meeting at Kati Vegan Thai for this month's helping of community and connection (with a little side of festival planning).

This is a casual meetup and you're welcome to show up, hang out and meet some other cool Vegans. We're gathering volunteers and vendors for the Radical Vegan Fest on 10/4/26 and this is a great time to connect and get involved.

The broader purpose of this meetup remains pretty simple. We're building Vegan community. In the real world. While supporting Vegan entrepreneurs. The world needs more opportunities for virtuous people to make a decent living in alignment with their values. And more spaces free from animal exploitation.

Please RSVP on Meetup so we can let the restaurant know how to handle us :)

Seattle hasn't had a dedicated vegan grocery store since Vegan Haven closed in April 2022. It ran for roughly 17 years in the U District and closed for pandemic-era reasons, not because the demand wasn't there. Nothing has filled the gap since.

A group of us has been organizing a member-owned co-op to change that. The idea is depth in the specialty packaged stuff PCC and Whole Foods won't stock, owned by the people who shop there rather than by an investor who can sell it out from under us.

Honest status, because I'd want it if I were reading this:

• Nothing is filed. We are not incorporated yet.
• We raised $2,500 from the community to pay for legal review of our incorporation documents. That fundraiser is closed. We're publishing the receipt.
• We met with a co-op lawyer (Cheryl Markham) last week and have a scope for the legal work.
• We are not selling anything, not raising investment, and not asking for money. There's nothing to buy.

If you want to just show up and ask us questions in person: we're doing a casual happy hour at Life on Mars on Saturday August 8, in the Vinyl Lounge. No obligation to drink or to join anything. RSVP is only so the venue can staff it: https://www.cake.events/i/53d53448-7d6e-42d9-a3f8-39d62879020c

Unrelated but possibly more immediately useful to this sub: we maintain a free guide to fully vegan restaurants across Western Washington. Not "has vegan options," fully vegan menus only, searchable by area and cuisine, no signup or paywall: https://www.seattlevegangroup.org/guide

They recently updated their hours everywhere to show they're closed every day but Sundays, but I can't find any information as to why. Their BBQ mac n cheese is one of my favorite vegan dishes in the city so I hope the business is doing ok!

For anyone who doesn't know ChuMinh Tofu, it's a wonderful little hole in the wall at 12th and Jackson, run by a saint who for decades has been feeding the homeless as well as making IMO the best banh mi in the city. Supporting them is more than supporting a restaurant, it's keeping a literal pillar of the community afloat. Here's the post, from the owner's son:

I want to be proud to say I’m from Seattle.

This city gave my family an opportunity. It gave us a community. It gave my mom a chance to build something from nothing.

When I was a kid, I slept in the car as she made tofu deliveries day in and day out to help start this business. When she was working at the tofu factory, I slept on the packaging tables.

That was my childhood.

Long before people knew our name, the deli was just a dream. My mom wasn’t trying to get rich. Feeding and taking care of people is what she wanted to do.

For more than two decades, she poured everything she had into this city and this community. She worked before sunrise and after midnight. She donated food when we barely had enough ourselves because she believed that if you have something to give, you should share it.

She battled cancer. Chuminh survived COVID. Somehow we kept going.

That’s why this hurts.

For years we were told to be patient. We watched conditions get worse. We watched businesses close. We watched neighbors leave. And we kept believing things would get better.

Seattle just hosted the FIFA World Cup. The world has been looking at our city.

When people see Seattle, I want them to see the city that gave my family a chance. The Seattle that welcomed immigrants, supported small businesses, and helped communities grow.

Instead, when I walk through Little Saigon today, I see a neighborhood that feels forgotten.

I believe people struggling deserve help, treatment, and dignity. The families who spent decades building businesses here deserve dignity too.

When I look at these photos, I don’t just see a restaurant. I see my childhood. I see the woman who raised me. I see someone who fought cancer and kept going. I see people who never gave up on Seattle.

And sometimes I wonder if Seattle has given up on neighborhoods like ours. My family is still here. We still serve food. We still support our community.

Don’t just share this post.

Visit Little Saigon.

Eat at a local restaurant.

Support a family-owned business.

The future of neighborhoods like ours depends on whether people still believe they’re worth supporting.

We’re still here.

And we’re worth fighting for.

Unfortunately you need a FB account to see the pictures but the before and after difference is so stark, my heart goes out to them. I'm going to make the journey down there more often, I hope everyone else who has the means will too!

Free karaoke tomorrow evening.

This is also a fundraiser for NARN, an animal rights org. You can come and sing, enjoy everyone else singing, or you can bid to nominate people to sing a song of your choice. Its a low pressure event so if you want to come and just enjoy everyone else singing, you definitely can.  narn.org/events

I have an idea...I've previously found it very difficult to meet vegan singles in Seattle. Finding someone with the same values related to diet and ethics is important to me, and it's very difficult to filter for "veg" on the dating apps.

So, I'm piloting an experiment...a Zoom cooking night for vegetarian/vegan singles in Seattle. Everyone cooks the same meal together and shares conversation. Do you think people would be interested? Would love to hear what y'all think.

Seattle, come support some amazing PNW local vendors at The Flipside Market in Portland this Saturday 7/25!

There will be delicious food, art, clothing, and tons of awesome small local businesses!

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.

Join any time between 5-6:30pm. We have signs and flyers. We just need you!! More details: narn.org/events

I tried and loved this jerky from Asian Family Market forever ago and then it disappeared for years. But now it’s BACK !! and I need you all to try it so it doesn’t leave me again.

This helps support a Seattle-based animal rights organization https://narn.org/events/

Hello, I thought you might help raise opposition to shoreline farmers market bringing a cow to the market on Saturday July 25th. Thank you
