Black-Owned Vegan & Vegan-Friendly Restaurants in Seattle
#BlackLivesMatter.
And Black-owned small businesses matter.
Black-owned, vegan-friendly restaurants in Seattle are few and far between, and the ones that are still open after the pandemic are even fewer.
And to make matters worse, Black-owned small businesses were virtually left out of the stimulus packages while large – and largely white-owned – corporations raked in the majority of the financial aid.
Let’s stand in solidarity with our Black community by speaking out for what’s right and supporting Black-owned businesses when we can.
Grab a coffee, order a meal for takeout, share their business on your social channels, and let’s uplift our small but mighty Black-owned vegan restaurants in Seattle and its neighboring communities.
