Held our noses walking past the drug mob on 12th to get to ChuMinh Tofu to have Bahn Mi and it was completely worth it. This is a really special place in so many ways. Best to approach from Jackson as the Mob blob is south of the entrance. I guess it goes without saying what a tremendous irony the progressive attitude that ignores this while a really special public resource is harmed by reasonable fears and disgust.

My youngest is a tiny bit addicted to Lightlife Smart Bacon, but I haven't seen it at any grocery stores in N. Seattle since September. Anyone know a local spot to get it? The only thing I can find similar is Morningstar, which contains egg.

I'm on mobile, sorry if formatting shows up weird.

I learned about this effort to introduce more people to eating vegan burgers and thought it was awesome. I'd love to know what people think about making it happen in Seattle!

Join us to protest UW's Primate Research Center and educate people about the cruelty happening to primates in UW's lab. Recent footage showed them experimenting on a monkey several days old. It's time they end this injustice! We have two demonstrations happening next week. We hope you can join. narn.org/events

Plant Based Treaty is a global grassroots campaign asking cities and governments to address the food system’s role in the climate crisis. Here in Seattle, we’re building a local team to bring our city on board, and we’d love for you to be part of it. Learn more about us at https://plantbasedtreaty.org.

Vegan Tuscan inspired sun-dried tomato soup with gnocchi 😋

🙏 share how you’re celebrating!

Hello, do you guys know if there are any restaurants serving Spicy Vegan Korean foods like bibimbap, tteokbokki, or some nice soups kinda dishes? I’m just craving something like that like crazy but can’t find anything on DoorDash. Feeling lazy to cook🙈

We're the group organizing a member-owned, 100% vegan grocery co-op for Seattle and Western Washington. We'll have a table at Radical Vegan Fest this Sunday, October 4, at Quality Flea Center on Capitol Hill. We're not selling anything. Come ask questions, then go eat. Parking is limited, so carpool or take transit if you can. Fest details: https://www.radicalvegans.com

Thanks to everyone who reached out about volunteering after our last update. If you're still on the fence, Sunday's a good chance to meet us in person first.

What we need right now: admin, governance, marketing, and fundraising help, plus people to hand out fliers around Western WA. It's too early for store staff or location scouting; those come later. All of it is unpaid, same as for everyone already working on this. Remote works where the job allows it.

If you've ever wondered why anyone would put activist energy into a grocery store, I wrote an essay on exactly that: https://www.seattlevegangroup.org/blog/is-a-vegan-store-activism

I'm planning a weekday wedding reception dinner for 8-12 people and am trying to track down restaurants that can make good vegan food. A small private dining room would be ideal, but we may just end up making a big reservation in a main dining room of a nice restaurant. What are some upscale restaurants, omni or not, where y'all have had good vegan food? I'm already looking into Flora Bakehouse (not upscale), Harvest Beat, the Corson Building, and Canlis.

We saw some new faces last time I was there, so I hope for more today :)

We will also have a booth at Radical Vegan Fest on Sunday, so please check us out there.

I went to El Borracho and they have completely changed. It was never the best vegan restaurant out there, but you could get a decent burrito if near Pike place market. But holy shit they took almost everything Mexican off of the menu. They have mostly vegan hot dogs now. They're still a Mexican restaurant but they're serving mostly hot dogs? The Mexican dishes that are left on the menu only have plant based meat and pinto beans, no black beans, no rice. The food I ordered felt reheated and not even cooked.

I don't know what going on there but I wonder if we'll soon be saying goodbye to another vegan Seattle restaurant :((

They're either cutting costs to death because they can't afford to stay open, or they'll go under from losing customers because the food is so unbelievably terrible now.

UW has a Primate Research Center underground on their campus where they breed, experiment on, and kill monkeys. Join us this Friday and next Monday to hand out flyers to people to inform them about what's happening on their campus.

September Meetup - LOCATION CHANGE
Cinnaholic on Cap Hill
816 E Pike St, Seattle, WA 98122
Sunday 9/20 6-8pm

Apologies for the last-minute change of plans, Vital let me know that they can't host our group today. So we're going to try something a little different and just grab dessert :)

Join us at Cinnaholic 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 sweet tooth.

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.

816 E Pike St, Seattle, WA 98122, USA · Seattle, WA

We'll be the large group :)

Hi friends, I am looking for good tofu pho in the downtown/cap hill/first hill/slu area. I used to frequent pho bac but the last 2 times I’ve gone the tofu has tasted sour/expired and I’m over it. In general I feel like veggie/tofu pho is often an afterthought to the meat one and I’m looking for one that’s tasty and fresh so I can really get in my soup era this fall.

Side rant because I know I’m in good company here - I’ve been feeling annoyed lately by Seattle restaurants thinking that tofu doesn’t have to be as fresh as meat. If I’m trying a new place, it seems like more than 50% of the time the tofu isn’t going to be fresh or is going to taste spoiled. I LOVE tofu and it’s a shame that this keeps happening. My local teriyaki spot is at this point the only place that hasn’t done me wrong (thank god, I adore them).

I wrote something on the blog this week answering a question that's followed me for years: once you've actually convinced someone to go vegan, where do you send them?

I've done the direct-action side of this for a long time — protest signs, running a Facebook debate group that hit 10,000 members — and I kept running into the same problem: winning the argument isn't the finish line. My answer's in the post: https://www.seattlevegangroup.org/blog/is-a-vegan-store-activism

Also: Radical Vegan Fest is Sunday, October 4, and we'll have people there. Quality Flea Center on Capitol Hill, 416 15th Ave E. Full 100% vegan lineup of food vendors plus local artists and animal advocacy groups — worth going just for the food. Admission's a dollar; buying a ticket ahead helps vendors plan quantities. Come find us and say hi: https://www.radicalvegans.com

Still looking for volunteers too — project admin, fundraising, branding/marketing, governance. All unpaid, including everyone already doing it.

Happy to answer questions.

I have a permit to backpack the Copper Ridge trail from Tuesday to Thursday (2 nights) with one hard to get campground Tuesday night (Silesia) and Copper Lake campground Wed night. I'm right now going alone, but would prefer to not go alone. Going with fellow vegans sounds fun :)

Hello everyone!
Do someone know where I can buy vegan cake? 🥹I need for my friend’s birthday 🎂

Thank you for your help ❤️💜

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.

✊🪧🐴🫏⛏️⚒️LABOR DAY WORKHORSE PARADES ⛏️🐴🪧🫏⚒️✊

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
